Answer:

John Adams lost the election for maybe four main reasons. The heart of the matter was the expansion of Federal power at the expense of state and individual rights. Adams expanded the Federal Government by building up the standing army and building more ships for the Navy. He raised taxes and ran deficits. Adams instituted the Alien and Sedition Acts which criminalized criticism of the government and was rough on immigrants. Lastly, Adams toom Great Britain's side against the French. These policies weren't popular but Jefferson must have been greatful for the Navy ships he got to use in the war against the Barbary Pirates. Jefferson waged an effective campaign in the newspapers and he had the winning issues. The election still ended up in the House of Representatives between Jefferson and his running mate Aaron Burr. It was Alexander Hamilton who backed Jefferson over Burr. I am sure a contributing factor in their duel. Burr ran as a Vice-presidential running mate with Jefferson. He should not have tried to double cross Jefferson. Burr definitely had many character flaws.

What were two main compromises of the constitutional convention and how did it effect the government?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

  • The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise)
  • The Three-Fifths Compromise

The two compromises affected the way a state's representation in Congress would be determined.

Explanation:

Both of these compromises were devised during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  

The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery.  For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures.  (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.)   The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.
