APUSH Questions - Chapter 11: The Triumphs and Travails of Jeffersonian Republic,
1800 - 1812
1. In what sense, if any, is the idea of a Revolution of 1800 justified? (Note that Jefferson
himself always considered that his election represented a genuine revolution, but what did he
really mean or understand by that term in this context?)
2. How important was establishing the principle of judicial review? Does that principle make
more sense than Jefferson's belief that the states retained the final authority on the meaning of
the Constitution? How important was the failed attempt to impeach Samuel Chase in
establishing an independent judiciary? What role should Supreme Court justices play in
politics?
3. Why was Jefferson willing to fight for the freedom of the sea versus the pasha of Tripoli
(who required tribute) but not against Britain (which was impressing American sailors)? Did
Jefferson make a mistake in fighting for freedom in only one of these instances? When should
America fight for its freedom, and when should it not?
4. How did Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase transform Americas understanding of itself and its
future? Was it inevitable that the west would become part of a much greater United States, or
was there real danger in efforts like Aaron Burrs to break those areas off from the country?
5. How does the period 1800 - 1812 look if viewed through American Indian eyes? Could the
attempt of Tecumseh and the Prophet to unite western Indians against American expansion have
created a different dynamic in white-Indian relations?
6. Was there any merit at all in Jefferson’s embargo policy? Could some other policy have
succeeded? Was Madison’s ill-prepared stumble into war any better than the embargo, or was
the United States simply stuck in an impossible position between Britain and France?
7. Was America controlling its own destiny in the first decade and a half of the nineteenth
century or was it reacting to the destinies of foreign nations and their leaders? Consider the
Barbary pirates, the sale of Louisiana, Jefferson's embargo, and the War of 1812. How
influential was Napoleon on American history?
APUSH Questions - Chapter 12: The Second War for Independence and the Upsurge of
Nationalism, 1812 - 1824
1. Why has the War of 1812 been called one of America’s worst-fought wars? Was the cause of
the failure essentially military, or was it an inevitable result of the political disunity over the
purpose of the war?
2. Examine the Treaty of Ghent. Did the United States "win" this peace agreement? What
international forces made this peace settlement a reality? Was the United States lucky that
Britain had more important priorities than battling in the United States?
3. To what degree was the War of 1812 truly a Second War for Independence? Consider the
battles, the politics, and the peace settlement. Compare it to the Revolutionary War.
4. What was significant about the strong spirit of nationalism that appeared in America from
1815 to 1824? What were its accomplishments?
5. Did the Missouri Compromise effectively deal with the sectional conflict over slavery or
merely shove it out of view?
6. Did the Supreme Court decisions under John Marshall's leadership extend federal power too
much? Is it appropriate that someone who was not elected should have such tremendous power
to shape the government and the law? Is it appropriate that a political party's ideology be
implemented through the judiciary?
7. Was the Monroe Doctrine a valuable assertion of the principles of liberty and selfdetermination in the Americas against potential European and monarchical intrusion, or was it
in effect an early manifestation of a patronizing and potentially imperialistic attitude by the
United States toward Latin America?
