Accepted Answer

### Question 1
# Brief Explanations:
The Election of 1800 was between the Democratic - Republican Party and the Federalist Party. The main candidates for the Democratic - Republican Party were Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, and for the Federalist Party were John Adams and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney.
# Answer:
The two political parties were the Democratic - Republican Party (main candidates: Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr) and the Federalist Party (main candidates: John Adams, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney).

### Question 2
# Brief Explanations:
The tie between Jefferson and Burr revealed that the original Electoral College system (where each elector cast two votes without distinguishing between president and vice - president) could lead to a tie between candidates for president and vice - president. It was fixed by the 12th Amendment to the Constitution, which required electors to cast separate votes for president and vice - president.
# Answer:
Constitutional problem: The original Electoral College system (electors cast two votes, no distinction between president and vice - president votes) could cause a tie for president and vice - president. Fix: 12th Amendment, electors cast separate votes for president and vice - president.

### Question 3
# Brief Explanations:
John Adams appointed many Federalist - leaning judges (the "midnight judges") during his final days as president. This created problems for Jefferson because these judges were likely to have Federalist views and could oppose Jefferson's Democratic - Republican policies, and they were also difficult to remove from office.
# Answer:
John Adams appointed many Federalist - leaning "midnight judges". This created problems for Jefferson as these judges (with Federalist views) could oppose his policies and were hard to remove.

### Question 4
# Brief Explanations:
Jefferson reduced the size of the army and navy, cut government departments' budgets, and tried to eliminate the national debt. He also rolled back some Federalist - era policies to reduce the federal government's power.
# Answer:
Jefferson reduced the military (army, navy) size, cut government department budgets, worked to eliminate national debt, and rolled back some Federalist policies.

### Question 5
# Brief Explanations:
Jefferson believed that a smaller federal government was better for individual liberty. He thought that a large federal government would be more likely to infringe on people's rights and freedoms, while a smaller government would leave more power and freedom to the states and the people.
# Answer:
Jefferson believed that a smaller federal government was associated with greater individual liberty (a large federal government threatened liberty, so a smaller one was better for individual freedom).

### Question 6
# Brief Explanations:
To put his belief into practice regarding government income, Jefferson reduced government spending, tried to eliminate the national debt, and also reduced or eliminated some taxes (such as the whiskey tax) to reduce the government's revenue - raising efforts, as he thought a government with less income would be less powerful and less of a threat to liberty.
# Answer:
Jefferson reduced government spending, worked to eliminate national debt, and reduced/eliminated some taxes (e.g., whiskey tax) to limit government income (and thus power, to protect liberty).
