 This Entrenched Federalist Party was fighting, kicking and screaming against this. You touch on, there's a proposed quasi-coudier, the Adams Administration years, right? Like where Hamilton's trying to inspire to kind of let, to use the force of the administrative state to override democratic whims. You have attempts to take over the election system and states are hostile to the Federalists, right? I mean, this is a regime that is trying to do everything they can to stop this coalition of variety of interests opposing their claim to power. Right, right. Yeah, this is something I talk about a lot in Chapter 6, is that this is one of the reasons that I mentioned, I think at the beginning when we were doing this, we were starting this podcast, you know, talking about my overall book, is I call it cronyism, not just crony capitalism, because there is a lot of political cronyism. Where politicians are looking to sort of hurt their competitors, people who are also running for elections, et cetera, who could take away votes and reduce power by supporting all sorts of policies that are benefiting themselves. And the Federalists were going down fighting. They were not going to just simply, you know, let the Republicans run roughshod over them, nor did they really want them to win the election. They were going to take a lot of things that sometimes bordered on, you know, this blatant illegal nature. Hamilton, at one point after the New York elections around this time, had swung to the Republicans, so the Republicans would be able to, according to New York law, the state legislators would be able to choose the electors, basically ensuring that the New York delegation would go for the Republicans. Hamilton wanted John Jay to call a special session of the legislature in order to basically retroactively change the rules. And this is something John Jay, he didn't even respond. It was too much for him, who was pretty much a reactionary. And most people would agree, even big Hamiltonians would say that was probably not his best moment, so to speak, when he's sort of blatantly engaging in, like, chicanery, you know, to keep the election going for the Federalists. You also have to understand, 1800 and really 1801 when the Republicans come to power, that was the first true peaceful transfer of power between political parties. Like, in history, it was really the most, you know, in modern history, this is something that had not happened before because what often happened is that when push comes to shove with an election, the existing party in power just says, all right, we're just going to stay in power. Like, tough, we got the guns. Like, there's nothing you can do about it. And this could have been a very bad left turn for the United States where the Federalists blatantly hold on to power or something. It got very close to that, but they did not. Jefferson, he's elected the electoral college. Well, it was basically Congress at this point. He has chosen president and he ushers in what was seen to be a Jeffersonian revolution. The government is going to go back sort of closer to the Articles of Confederation. There's going to be this big push towards decentralization. It's just a new time. This is best seen in the fact that this is now the capital moves from Philadelphia, this hustling, bustling metropolis to this sleepy backwater, the Federal City, that there's really not much going on there. And Jefferson's inauguration seems to go pretty well. And while this is now going to be this time for the limited government, et cetera, the anti-Federalists who, excuse me, the former anti-Federalists who wanted Jefferson to return to the Articles, they were known as the old Republicans. They had high expectations, high hopes for Jefferson. Unfortunately, their hopes became quickly dashed.
