01

What Students Need to Do

Students explain why the 1800 election went to the House, why voting rules changed, and why the peaceful transfer of power mattered. They explain how Marbury confirmed the Supreme Court's power to reject unconstitutional laws. They map western expansion and describe Jefferson's early Tribal removal plans and the embargo's effects.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can explain the 1800 tie, the House vote, and the change to separate ballots. They can use Marbury to explain judicial review. They can locate the Louisiana Purchase, trace Lewis and Clark's route, and describe effects on Native nations, merchants, and manufacturers.

Common Misconceptions

Students may think voters chose the president and vice president on separate ballots in 1800. They may think judicial review came from a new amendment. Some treat the Louisiana Territory as empty land or assume the embargo helped every U.S. business.
