<p>In what sense, if any, is the idea of a “Revolution of 1800” (Jefferson over Adams) justified.</p>
<p>ANyone have any basic ideas?</p>
<p>I know that it ended Federalists party rule and basically removed them from power forever, but what else points to a revolution or even a renovation?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>It signified the first democratic transfer of power in history. Before then, the party in power usually refused to hand over power and it eventually became a monarchy and democracy failed. The federalist could have refused to give up their power but instead they handed it over without any fuss.</p>
<p>To add onto PKWsurf21, the “Revolution of 1800” was a key signal that indicated that democracy would actually sustain and continue in the United States, which is important considering that democracies overwhelmingly failed in the past.</p>
