Basic Body Paragraph Toward the end of Jeffersons presidency, loose constructionism became common throughout his party with the adaptation of Hamilton
{"Image DocumentName": "Basic Body Paragraph", "Image ImageDescription": "Toward the end of Jefferson\u2019s presidency, loose constructionism became common throughout his party with the adaptation of Hamilton\u2019s financial plan. In Jefferson\u2019s letter to Samuel Kercheval he stated that citizens have to adapt to the Constitution depending on the era.(Doc G) So even though Jefferson allowed for the expiration of the Alien and Sedition Acts and the repeal of the Excise Tax, all other programs in the Report on Public Credit stayed in place. In fact, Madison instituted the first protective tariff in 1816, which John Randolph laments in his speech to the House of Representatives. (Doc. F) Randolph accuses Madison of being just like John Adams in his approach to loosely interpreting the Constitution\u2019s commerce compromise to raise revenue for the federal government. (Doc. F) In fact, the only provision of staunch Federalist Alexander Hamilton not passed by Congress in 1789, was one that called for a protective tariff. It was viewed by southern exporters as being a violation of the 10th Amendment which protected state\u2019s rights and disallowed the favoring of one state over another since the south would face recipical protective tariffs from both France and England. I could also go on and talk about the repeal of the Excise tax (Doc F) as well as the use of the elastic clause with the BUS (Doc A, C, D, F)", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
