Election of 1800 Article Precis
(25 pts)
 The Election of 1800 is considered one of the most significant in American history--perhaps THE most significant. It was the first time that a presidential election resulted in the transition in power from one political party to another. This, of course, happens all the time now, but in 1800 there was no gurantee that this would happen at all, let alone happen peacefully.

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Read the attached directions for writing a Precis, which is a formal summary assignment;
  2.  Following the directions from the Precis handout, read & digest the Smithsonian article on the Election of 1800 article;
  3. Write a Precis of the article, the final product being about 1.5 typed pages.
