.What political liabilities existed for Adams and for Jefferson in 1800?

For Adam and the federalists, their Alien and Sedition Acts brought them down a lot because it caused them to have a host of enemies; also, the federalists all got ready for war by increasing public debt, a stamp tax, etc. but they didn't go to war so it was all for nothing. Also, the federalist party split and Hamilton wrote a pamphlet that attacked the president, which the Jeffersonians found and printed; also, he was the "Father of the American Navy" and his seamen were called "John Adams' . For Jefferson, he was the victim of the first whispering campaign and accused of robbing a widow and her kids a trust fund and he fathered many mulatto children with his slave Sally Hemings. Also, his want for the separation of church and state caused many to go against him.
