Monroe was unanimously reelected in 1820, and was the only
president in American history to be reelected after a term in which a
major financial panic began.
1)What Supreme Court Justice continued to dominate and what did
this reflect?
Nationalism was also further reflected and enforced by the Supreme
Court, which continued to be dominated by Chief Justice John
Marshall.
2)Explain the cases of McCulloch v. Maryland and Cohens v. Virginia.
What did they do for US?
One of his decisions in the case of McCulloch v. Maryland bolstered
the power of the federal government at the expense of the states. His
ruling in this case also gave the doctrine of loose construction its
most famous formulation. The Cohens v. Virginia case showed
Marshall's greatest opportunity of defending the federal power. In he
Gibbons v. Ogden case, Marshall also took a blow on states' rights.
3) What was the Anglo-American Convention of 1818, who was it with
(country) and what was the result?
The Monroe administration negotiated the Anglo-American
Convention of 1818 with Britain, which permitted Americans to share
Newfoundland fisheries with Canada. Andrew Jackson headed to
Florida in 1818 and Spain ceded Florida to America in 1819 under the
Florida Purchase Treaty.
Americans were alarmed at the possible threats coming from
Europe in all directions. They feared that if European powers
intervened with the New World, the cause of republicanism would
suffer irreparable harm.
4) What were the Monroe Doctrines TWO basic features? Do you
agree with this doctrine? Why did Europeans HATE it?
The Monroe Doctrine was born in late 1823, and its two basic
features were non-colonization and non-intervention. It incorporated
a stern warning to European powers.
The doctrine greatly angered and annoyed European powers but
now their hands were tied either way. Even before the message, the
tsar decided to retreat and did formally in the Russo-American Treaty
of 1824. The doctrine was interpreted as self-defense, and
nationalism.

G.WASHINGTON FAREWELL ADDRESS
America’s Role in the World. The foreign policy of the new nation requires both principles and
prudence, given its circumstances. The United States should “observe good faith and justice towards
all Nations.” In the future, he asks Americans to keep in mind that “it will be worthy of a free,
enlightened, and at no distant period, a great Nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too
novel example of a People always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence.” America’s place in
the world will elevate and distinguish its national character. Avoid the accumulation of excessive dent,
which puts the burden on our children and their posterity.
Washington recommended as the great rule of conduct that the United States primarily pursue
commercial relations with other nations and have with them “as little political connection as possible,”
consistent with its treaty obligations. Washington did not call for America to withdraw from the world:
he warned of political connections and permanent alliances. In a world convulsed by the French
Revolution, he advised that the young republic “steer clear of permanent Alliances with any portion of
the foreign world.” America should be clear-headed about its own capacities under changing
circumstances while keeping itself in mind as an example to the world. Washington recommended that
the nation pursue a long-term course of placing itself in a position to defy external threats, defend its
own neutrality, and, eventually, choose peace or war as its own “interest, guided by justice, shall
Counsel.”
