Abstract
The Republicans have no trouble electing yet another Virginia candidate in 1816. It isn't even much of a contest. James Monroe, former secretary of state and Revolutionary War veteran is 61 years old when he takes office. Monroe's cabinet includes both Federalists and Republicans from all areas of the country. His administration is characterized as an era of good feelings with little political opposition, at least on the surface, but there is a scramble for power underneath. Monroe is a strict constructionist, committed to retaining this Republican vision of the presidency as a powerless office. Some of the 19th century's more prominent legislators like Henry Clay, argue for a more nationalistic approach to internal improvement. .
