Question 12 (Multiple Choice)
Brief Explanations

The Judiciary Act of 1801 (also known as the "Midnight Judges Act") was passed by the Federalist - controlled Congress and signed by President John Adams. Its main purpose was to increase the number of federal judges, including the creation of new circuit court judgeships. Option A is incorrect as it didn't reduce the power of the courts. Option C is incorrect as the national bank was related to Hamilton's financial plan and not this act. Option D is incorrect as the two - party system developed over time and this act had nothing to do with its creation.

Brief Explanations

Jay's Treaty was signed in 1794. One of its provisions was that Britain agreed to withdraw its troops from the Northwest Territory (the area north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi River). So the statement is true.

Brief Explanations

The election of 1796 was the first contested presidential election in the United States. The political differences between the Federalists (who were more supportive of a strong central government and closer ties to Britain) and the Democratic - Republicans (who were more in favor of states' rights and closer ties to France) became more pronounced. This led to an increase in sectionalism as different regions had different political leanings. So the statement is true.

Answer:

B. Increased the number of federal judges
