European appeasement of German aggression in an effort to avoid conflict is the answer
Hi!
The French Revolution was the great stimulus to the intellect and social life of society, in the way it inspired men who loved freedom with happiness and hope. This new freedom gave people the freedom to think for themselves. Caused by ROMANSTICISM, by the revolutionary spirit, the writers of the time were full of creative ideas and were waiting for the opportunity to express them!
Assuming that the groups you have to choose from are:
- A. Believers in a strong national government
- B. Advocates for states' rights
- C. Supporters of abolition
- D. Proponents of western expansion
Believers in a strong national government (A) were most likely to oppose the <em>Marbury v. Madison</em> decision.
This famous 1803 Supreme Court case opposed William Marbury, backed by ex-President John Adams, and James Madison, backed by President Thomas Jefferson.
Adams was a Federalist, a believer in a centralized, national government.
Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican, a defender of states' rights (B), western expansion (D), and the abolition of slavery (C).
<em>Marbury v. Madison</em> was won by the Democratic-Republicans, because the Supreme Court ruled that Madison had a right to prevent Marbury from getting the job he wanted as a justice of the peace commissioned by the former president.
