  1. Section 4 (The Growth of Nationalism)

    Nationalism at home – Two Parties at home
  2. Key Terms Dartmouth College v. Woodward- 1819 case in which the Supreme Court ruled that states could not interfere with private contracts. McCulloch v. Maryland- 1819 case in which the Supreme Court ruled that Congress has the authority to take actions necessary to fulfill its Constitution duties. Gibbons v. Ogden- 1824 case in which the Supreme Court ruled that states could not regulate commerce on interstate waterways.
  3. Key Terms (continued) Monroe Doctrine- Declaration by President Monroe in 1823 that stated the United States would oppose efforts by any outside power to control a nation in the Western Hemisphere. American System- A combination of government backed by economic development and protective tariffs aimed at encouraging business growth.
  4. Nationalism at Home President Monroe’s two terms were thought of the Era of Good Feelings. Federalist Party was “disappearing” leaving just the Jeffersonian Republicans. In 1816 Congress expressed their positive feelings of buying merchandise made by Americans, which would create foreign goods to be more expensive. Supreme Court was in control by Chief Justice John Marshall.
  5. Nationalism at Home Continued Protecting Contracts: An 1819 ruling prohibited New Hampshire from changing the charter of Dartmouth College, this case known as Dartmouth College s. Woodward. Chief Justice John Marshall’s court ruled that states couldn’t interfere with private contracts. The Long term effect was to protect business from regulation, which helped to stabilize the economy.
  6. Nationalism at Home Continued Supporting the National Bank: In 1816 Congress created the Second Bank of the United States. The Constitution did not grant the federal government the right to charter a national bank. In 1819 the issue reached the Supreme Court. Maryland took action by putting heavy taxes on the bank. This action challenged Congress’s authority to create the bank. In the McCulloch vs. Maryland case, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress didn’t have enough authority to do that. Those who strictly interpreted the Constitution, saw that the bank was a convenience and not a necessity. Arguments arose over the Necessary and Proper Clause over time on how to interpret it.
  7. Nationalism at Home Continued Regulating Commerce: Aaron Ogden purchased a state license to operate his steamboat from New York to New Jersey. When Tomas Gibbons started to do the same thing, Ogden sued him. Gibbons stated that he was operating under a federal license. This case made it to the Supreme Court in 1824 as the Gibbons vs. Ogden case. Court declared that the state’s couldn’t interfere with the Constitutional right to regulate business’s on interstate waterways. It reinforced the federal government’s authority about interstate commerce. Congress took away states rights to sell exclusive licenses like Ogden’s which led towards helping open the American West for settlement.
  8. Nationalism Abroad President Monroe Main goal was to ease tension with Great Britain (remained a high goal after the War of 1812) Was concerned that other European countries would take over the Western Hemisphere. (After) The War of 1812 In 1817 the USA & Britain signed the Rush-Bagot Agreement. Made both sides reduce # of warships in the Great Lakes
  9. Nationalism Abroad (continued) Monroe Doctrine On December 2, 1823 President Monroe gave a speech to Congress about the Monroe Doctrine (has 4 main parts) US would not become involved in the internal affairs of European countries, nor would it take sides in wars among them. US recognized the existing colonies & states in the Western Hemisphere & would not interfere with them. US would not permit any further colonization of the Western Hemisphere Any attempt by a European power to take control of any nation in the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as a hostile action toward the US.
  10. Nationalism Abroad (continued) The US did NOT have the armed forces necessary to back up the warning in the Monroe Doctrine. It was a bold declaration for the US because the capital was burned down by a foreign army less than a decade earlier.
