asked 03/04/19why did Federalist President John Adams lost the presidential election of 1800. The Federalists also lost many seats in Congress. In the weeks before Thomas Jefferson took office, Congress created many new positions for judges and other court officials with the hopes that Federalists could maintain control of the judiciary. President Adams appointed many judges in the last few days of his presidency. What name was given to this group of judges?
