"War Hawks"
This act by Thomas Jefferson greatly enlarged the territory of the United States, although his decision was not explicitly sanctioned by the Constitution.
The Louisiana Purchase
The Era of Good Feelings got its nickname because presidential elections during 1816 and 1820 were:

American education faced many changes during this era due to the use of:
Standardized textbooks/
Qualifications for teachers set by states
The Bank of the United States was upheld in McCulloch v. Maryland as an example of Congress' ability to make laws that are this, as long as they are constitutional.

Jefferson believed that, rather than relying on banks and government regulation, the future of American economic success should be based on the private ownership of land. This event helped to put his plan into action.
The Louisiana Purchase
These Native American leaders sought to unify tribes against US settlers on the frontier.
Tecumseh and "The Prophet".
Jefferson justified the Louisiana Purchase in part because he believed that THIS was necessary for citizens to be successful and to be invested in their country’s political and economic future.
Ownership of land; Laissez-Faire
In spite of the general political unity of the time, states began to divide into sections, such as:
North- Little to no slavery, use of factories
South- Widespread slavery, focus on agricultural cash crops (cotton and tobacco)
East- High population, large cities, banks, government centers
West- Low population, few cities, frontier dangers (especially conflict with Native Americans), lack of cash and businesses.
The principle that contracts are binding and cannot be interfered with by states under the constitution was established by these cases.
Fletcher v. Peck, Dartmouth College v. Woodward
The Embargo Act was intended to do this. It had the opposite effect, and resulted in the temporary collapse of the U.S. economy.
The construction of an American naval fleet during this war allowed the US, a few years later, to enforce a doctrine preventing Europeans from interfering in the independence of nations in North and South America.
The Monroe Doctrine
Jefferson set an important standard by not taking revenge on THIS political party (which many of his enemies belonged to) after he won the presidency:
The Federalists
Tariffs were passed by Congress during this era in order to:
Protect American businesses and industries by making foreign imports more expensive.
The decisions in Gibbons v. Ogden, McCulloch v. Maryland, Fletcher v. Peck, and Dartmouth College v. Woodward all promote this principle, due to their emphasis on the supremacy of Congress and the Constitution.
Federalism
This principle, believed in by Jefferson, represented a belief that businesses would work best if they were taxed minimally and left alone by the government to make their own decisions regarding workers' pay and the prices of their goods.
