Notes: Argues that the Jeffersonian Republicans were not a monolithic party and that after the election of 1800 there was not simply one struggle over the federal judiciary system but various struggles on state and national levels. Furthermore, the attack on the judiciary reflects the struggle between the radicals and moderates in TJ's own party, with the acquittal of Samuel Chase marking the turning point in favor of the moderates. An excellent work, but it has more to do with Jeffersonians than with TJ per se.

Reference: 1585

Traces the Democratic party from the anti-federalists and characterizes the party under TJ as party of Liberty, the Federalists led by Hamilton as the party of Law. But since Britain is now on the side of Liberty, "The parties, into which our fathers were divided on the great argument of Liberty and Law, can therefore never be revived ... as it came up before, connected with the policy of Europe and the rival interests of France and England ...." Still worth reading.
