John Adams ppt
John Adams faced many difficulties as president, including divisions between his Federalist party and the opposing Republican party of Thomas Jefferson. He had to deal with tensions with France during the XYZ Affair, which led to an undeclared naval war. Adams also signed controversial laws known as the Alien and Sedition Acts. He lost reelection in 1800 to Jefferson due to several factors, including the unpopularity of the Acts. Before leaving office, Adams appointed several "Midnight Judges" to help ensure future Federalist control of the courts.

James Monroe was elected president twice during this period with little opposition.

Election Of 1800 Power Point
The 1800 US presidential election resulted in a tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, both Democratic-Republicans. This tie had to be resolved by the House of Representatives, which took 36 votes over multiple days before electing Jefferson as president. The tie exposed flaws in the electoral process and led to the passage of the 12th Amendment, which established separate ballots for president and vice president to avoid similar ambiguities in the future. The election marked the first peaceful transition of power between opposing political parties in the young American republic.
Election of 1800
The document discusses the election of 1800, which marked a turning point in how Americans voted for president. Originally, the framers did not want the general public to directly elect the president, but instead wanted electors to select the president on behalf of the people. However, the election of 1800 resulted in a tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr in the Democratic-Republican party. This flaw in the system was resolved by the House selecting Jefferson as president, and it led to changes like separating party nominations for president and vice president, and enacting the 12th Amendment to avoid similar ties in the future.

John Adams and the disorganized Federalist Party were defeated, and though Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied in the electoral college vote, Jefferson eventually prevailed due to Alexander Hamilton's lobbying against Burr, resulting in a transfer of power from the Federalists to the Republicans.

US History Ch 18.4
John Brown led a raid on the federal arsenal in Harper's Ferry in 1859 hoping to arm slaves and start an uprising. He was captured, convicted of treason, and hanged. His actions increased tensions between northern abolitionists and southern slaveholders. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president, despite not being on the ballot in many southern states. As southern states increasingly feared the potential end of slavery, seven states seceded from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America, with Jefferson Davis as its president.

Sedition 2008

Shays’ Rebellion
Shays' Rebellion was an armed uprising in Western Massachusetts led by Daniel Shays in response to crushing debt and high taxes faced by small farmers.

Fact or Fiction? What Software Analytics Can Do For Us
This document summarizes findings from software analytics research on developer testing practices. It finds that developers overestimate the amount of time spent on testing, with most spending 25-75% of their time on test code compared to an estimated 50%. Tests are rarely executed in IDEs, with only 20% failing, compared to 60% failing in IDEs. Most projects have test code but over half of developers did not interact with tests. Testing is crucial for continuous integration, with 98% of projects failing builds when tests fail. The research helps developers understand their own behaviors and identifies challenges for improving tools and education.
Rethinking the Mobile Web by Yiibu
This document discusses creating an accessible and inclusive mobile experience. It begins by noting that while some devices like the iPhone are popular, they only represent a small portion of the overall mobile device market and user population. It then examines the need to make the mobile web accessible to all users, not just those with certain devices, and provides examples of how usage and capabilities vary greatly across the global mobile landscape. The document advocates for an adaptive approach that considers this diversity and creates an experience optimized for all types of mobile browsers and networks.

Constitutional Convention
The Constitutional Convention was called in Philadelphia in 1787 to replace the Articles of Confederation with a new framework for government. Delegates debated plans for the structure of Congress, with the Great Compromise creating a bicameral legislature. They also compromised on counting slaves in population for representation. The three branches of government - legislative, executive, judicial - were established, along with plans for amending the Constitution. After signing, the battle began over ratification, with Federalists supporting and Anti-Federalists opposing the new Constitution. By 1790, nine of the 13 states had ratified and the new government was put into effect.

The document discusses arguments for and against the Electoral College system for electing the U.S. President.
