The election of 1800 marked the decline of the____ party and the emergence of the____ party.
yaroslaw [1]

The election of 1800 marked the decline of the Federalist party and the emergence of the Democratic-Republican party.

The Federalist Party emerged out of the Constitutional Convention and were led by John Adams and Alexander Hamilton. The Federalist Party believed in a centralized federal government and a government run by a smaller, elite group of men. The party had control of the government under the first two presidents: Washington and Adams. The party would not have another president in office and completely disappeared as a party following the War of 1812.

The Democratic-Republican Party emerged as a reaction to the Adams presidency. Specifically, under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, the party was created to express concern over the Alien and Sedition Acts. Democratic-Republicans picked up the ideas of the Anti-Federalists from the Constitutional Convention. They believed in more state power and a reduction of federal power. The group led the government officially until the mid-1820's. However, the philosophy of the party began to move more toward the middle following the War of 1812 as the US entered the "Era of Good Feelings".

The line of advance was east of "The Angle" stone wall.
