Just before Jefferson takes office, Congress reduces the number of justices on the Supreme Court by one and expands the number of federal judgeships. Adams takes advantage of his last days as president to appoint a number of Federalists to these new posts. Despite lingering resentments about the election of 1800, the transfer of power from Adams to Jefferson is relatively peaceful. Jefferson attempts to build coalitions, attempting to pay down the nation's debt through tariff taxes alone. Although the central government becomes less powerful during Jefferson's administration, people still ask for federal support and federal jobs.
