Why did thomas jefferson withhold the essential documents needed to swear in the “midnight judges” when he took office?

He was a Democratic-Republican who did not want to have so many Federalist judges in place, is the right answer.

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson became the President of the United States on 4th March 1801 and served the post until 4th March 1809. He joined his office after defeating John Adams in the presidential election of the year 1800. In this election, the Federalist Party was swept out of power by the Democratic-Republican Party. Moreover,  the Democratic party swept away some of the positions created by John Adams during the final days of his presidency. One such example was the post of the "Midnight Judges", who were Federalists.

To this appointment, Jefferson and his allies wanted to repeal the Judiciary Act of 1801. There were two reasons for this, first, that they think this post was not necessary and second they wanted to reduce the influence of the Federalists in the court. For this purpose, Jefferson enacted the Judiciary Act of 1802 and keep the essential documents required to swear in the “midnight judges”.

b, public works good luck

biological/genetic factors means they were born or predisposed to have something. nothing can really change it, and you can't really do much to "fix" it. it isn't something learned

these are the biological factors:

adrian is relatively tall and he is on the basketball team

(adrian can't ever stop being tall or force himself to be tall. likely one or both of his parents are tall as well and they passed on the tall gene. he probably does basketball because he is tall)

the rest are environmental/cultural factors. these are things that are taught to us. for example, cynthia wasn't born saving pocket money, her family most likely taught her this (environmental factor)

hope this !
