Phonetics: Why we say 'cheese'

Phonetics is defined as the study of sounds made in the production of human languages. It is important to note that sounds and spellings of the English language are quite different. Not all English words are spelled the way they are sounded. Words such as "through" and "night" have more letters in them than sounds. Spelling vs. sound will be brought up again, for now I want to concentrate on the basics of phonetics.

As human beings, we produce sounds using our vocal tract. Where we make the sound (known as the place of articulation) matters. For instance, the [p] and [b] sounds use the lips. I won't bore you with a full list of the locations of each of the sounds, but I'll present an interesting factoid.

When pronouncing the long E vowel sound (IPA symbol [i]), which occurs in words such as "seat" and "meet", the relative position of the tongue is toward the front of the mouth. Furthermore, the lips are not rounded when pronouncing this sound (unlike the [o] sound in "go" which causes the lips to be round). Thus, when you say "cheese", it forces your mouth to be in a position which kind of looks like you are smiling.

Phonetics has even more uses than you might think. Ever think about why your dentist tells you to open your mouth and say "ahhhh"? This is because the "ah" sound is pronounced with the tongue in the back of the mouth, thus preventing your tongue from getting in the way of the dentist's work!

I feel like I can say cheese and meat while still making the same shape with my mouth. I wonder why they chose CHEESE though. Why not BREEZE or TEASE? I'll get to the bottom of this. Mark my words!

The clinical phonetics examines both the planning and execution of speech (articulation) and the perception of the speech signal (perception). In the investigation of disorders and diseases can be distinguished experimental clinical phonetics of the theoretical clinical phonetics. Experimental clinical phonetics deals with phonetic methods in speech disorders, while the theoretical clinical phonetics a phonetically-based model of language processing (theories of speech production and perception) create tries. The clinical phonetics spreads to the following disciplines:

A family tree is an excerpt from the descendants of table that includes only the carrier of the same family name and their spouses, with a stringent and perseverance that rule, for example, because of name changes, adoption, foreign trade names and other things, is not always possible.

The family tree has to the master list the advantage of greater clarity, but is fast with the growth of the considered family too unwieldy. Their major drawback is that it maintains a level of research, in the additions and extensions are difficult to incorporate even more. Even with the use of electronic media raises huge formatting problems that can be solved each time without much effort, only by going back to databases and virtual recalculation of the table - but this in turn means, in principle, nothing more than memorizing a list.

Further down the generations to follow in close order, level with the tree, perpendicular to the master list. In the genealogy of the children of a person to be bracketed together.

An encyclopedia (formerly called Encyclopedia; Greek ἐγκύκλιος παιδεία, complete 'or' education ') is a particularly rich source. The term "encyclopedia" to refer to detail or a large breadth of topics, such as when a person is said to encyclopedic knowledge. On the other hand, not all the knowledge, but only a summary is presented. The encyclopedia has seen such an over-looking arrangement of knowledge, which establishes a connection. In addition, we find the term "encyclopedia" with many works that deal with only a limited area of ​​expertise or even subject, the specialized encyclopedias.

As the oldest complete encyclopedia Naturalis Historia is from the first century AD. The boundaries were fluid, encyclopedias were the one hand between textbooks and dictionaries on the other. Above all, the great French Encyclopédie (1751-1780), the term "encyclopedia" for a property dictionary has prevailed. Because of the alphabetical arrangement encyclopedias are often referred to as dictionaries, encyclopedias in the history of the find but also many other names.

The present form of reference work has been mainly the 18th Century developed, while there is an extensive dictionary of all property subject to a wide readership. In the 19th Century came the typical neutral-objective style. The encyclopedias have been better structured and included new text, not mere acquisitions of older (foreign) works. One of the best known examples in the German-speaking countries has long been the Brockhaus Encyclopedia (1808), in the English-language Encyclopaedia Britannica (from 1768).

Since the 1980s, encyclopedias are also available in digital form, on CD-ROM and the Internet. Partly it is continuations of older works, in part to new projects. A particular success was the first time in 1993 on CD-ROM published Microsoft Encarta. Founded in 2001, Wikipedia became the largest Internet encyclopedia.

Through his influence the college of the University consisted only of Catholics, and each student had to drop the Catholic faith. In addition, he was vicar general of the Bishop of Passau and conducted as such purges in the parishes and monasteries of Lower Austria. As chancellor of the Emperor Matthias, however, he was resolutely pragmatic and interested in a compromise with the Protestants on the national level.

Sun Polycarp already gained early insight into the theological work of his time. His father came to the side of Jacob Andreae committed to the discipline to lay entirely in the hands of the priest, which would have amounted to establish Gemeindekonsistorien. It maintained contact with both John Calvin, who reserved their ideas but on the policy. After all, they managed to obtain the consent of the Duke Christoph of Württemberg. At the instigation of Johannes Brenz suggested this request fails, however, who warned that abandoning the church Württemberg territorial centralized church discipline.

Polycarp Leyser mother Margaret was a daughter of Tübingen businessman John Jacob Andreae Entringer and one sister. After Kaspar Leyser had died in 1554, his widow married soon Lucas Osiander the Elder. 1556, the family moved to Blaubeuren, where Leyser attended the convent school and grew up with the three sons of his stepfather. In 1562 he moved to the Stuttgart Pädagogium. After the death of his mother, his stepfather sent him in 1566 at the University of Tübingen, where he studied with a scholarship from Duke's Protestant theology.

In Tübingen he met Giles Hunnius know the elder, with whom he soon shared a deep friendship. 1570 he received his degree of Master of Arts, and shortly after became Stiftsrepetent. Theologically, he was influenced during this period, especially by Jacob Heerbrand Andreae Dietrich Schnepf. Leyser was characterized by excellent exam results. Therefore, it was already publicly Andreae 1572 dispute over the doctrine of justification. Beginning of the year 1573 he was ordained, and he became a parish in the Lower Austrian Göllersdorf.

Sprawled on a bed, a naked young woman lies with reddish-brown, her hair. Her upper body she has on the left of the picture half erect leaning against some pillows white, while she supports her right arm. The left hand covers her lap, by lying on her right thigh. In this posture, with head held high, not only the young woman turns her upper body but her face open to the viewer, like a portrait. Her buttocks and the crossed legs resting on a cream-colored, on the edge with elaborate golden flowers and fringes decorated cloth, a part of the white bedding covers. A corner of this cloth she recorded with her right hand. Laterally under the bedcovers, the dark red upholstery of the bed can be seen. The young woman wearing only some accessories on her body: Her hair is decorated with a large pink orchid. On her neck she wears a teardrop-shaped pearl, which is held by a narrow black band, which is similar to a ribbon tied in a bow. To fit the pearl earrings her understated. The right forearm is enclosed by a broad gold bracelet, to which a trailer is attached. Dainty slippers made their footwear, but the right slipper fell on the bed so that the right foot remains bare. But he is by the overturning of the legs from the left foot together with concealed his slipper.
Behind the bed is easy to prevent a black woman holding her breast in front of one wrapped in white paper, lush, colorful flowers. She turns and looks at the woman lying on her. She is dressed in a pink robe and a red scarf. At the foot of the bed a little black cat stands with high emporgerecktem tail, which looks at the viewer directly, with their bright eyes.

The coloring of the image is limited to a few shades. The range is essentially limited to white, black, a dark green to blue continuous, one gold and reddish brown, and beige for the skin of the woman portrayed and the cloth on which it lies. It contrasts the dominant white of the bed, which corresponds to the white of the floral paper, together with the pale skin of the woman lying against the very dark, sometimes dark tones of the room furnishings, the dark skin of the woman holding the flowers and the black cat. The outline of the cat and the head of this woman almost disappear against the dark background of the curtains. Through this strong light-dark contrast creates a horizontal division of the image that breaks through the line and the vertical of the golden curtain folds in the background.
The pink orchid in the footwall of the hair is taken up in several levels of brightness of the red flowers of some of the ostrich, the pattern of the cloth on the bed, the red scarf of the woman behind the bed and in the dark red upholstery of the bed again. Even the blue-leaning slightly into the dark green curtains finds a counterpart in the leaves of the bouquet, the pattern of the cloth, the greenish shade of bedding and packaging as well as the flowers in the lightly green-tinted border of the slippers.

The composition repeats a triangle shape can be recognized: the left beneath the upper body of the young woman interrupts the dark red triangle of the bed padding the brightness of bedding that dominates the lower half. This form repeats itself just as clearly outlined in the upper corner of the wallpaper from the brown contrasting white pillow on which the young woman rests, and is continued by the bright line of her left upper arm. The momentum thus generated starts in the upper left corner of the green arc of the curtain draped in a triangle near a backlash coming on again. On the other side, the upper body of the woman carrying flowers along with her right arm and falling on the other side contour of her dress, another big bright triangle. The two by the shoulders and the arms of the women described inside pages of major triangle shapes lead together with the gold-colored vertical in their midst, and the resulting from the superposed legs line to the secret of her hand triangle of shame the young woman to Thus, the optical center of the composition is.

The painting style of the image is very flat. Manet largely dispensed with the traditional, carefully graded, dimensional modeling of the motive. In some areas, the colors already solved by the shape of the object to which they belong. This is particularly evident in the large, like a still life bouquet acting within the picture that begins to disintegrate into splashes of color. Herein announces the coming of the Impressionist style, is regarded as the pioneer Edouard Manet.

People consume a variety of reasons since several thousand years drugs. Critical views on the use of specific drugs, it was already proven in pre-Christian times (eg the prohibition of bacchanalia by the Roman Senate). Drugs that were used in a culture in religious ceremonies or medical treatments were not allowed at the same time in different social cultures.

Regulated in Germany in the 16th Century, a food regulatory provision dealing with drugs. 1516 the Bavarian Purity Law of permitted ingredients put firmly in the beer that include the highly toxic and hallucinogenic plant henbane no longer allowed to be added to the German beer. There were bans in other countries, such as efforts in the 18th Century opium consumption in China and import ban. England began this reason, two wars with China. During the Second Opium War (1856-1860) England won the withdrawal of the opium ban.
"Hemp insert" in the 19th Century

In the 19th Century scientists first isolated compounds such as morphine, cocaine and caffeine. These materials were distributed by the pharmaceutical companies until the 1920s globally. First restrictions on some materials were already in force in Germany. In 1901, the Reichstag enacted a provision for the delivery of morphine in pharmacies. In the period 1909 to 1925, some international opium and drug abuse conferences were conducted. The conferences in Shanghai (1909), The Hague (1912, 1913, 1914) led to the first legal regulations in Germany (1920). The first conference in The Hague (1912) found, in the opinion of the American sociologist, JR Gusfield, the prelude to the "symbolic crusade against drugs" dar.

The German Opium Act was only 42 years later, regardless of the law superseded the traffic in narcotics (BTM Act, 1971). In the overall context of the historical development of the Opium Act Narcotics Act is to be noted that the Federal Republic of Germany is not free, what goals they want to pursue in the area of ​​drug policy. It is rather a series of agreements under the United Nations (UN) bound (see table below).

The drug policy was up to the mid-sixties in relation to other policy areas, a very small and often overlooked social policy area. Largely because of the small number of socially prominent drug users was the Opium Act, a law without acute persecution reality. Correspondingly low, the number of persons convicted under the Opium Act. In the early sixties of the last century the number was two to three sentences per week (which were 100-150 per year) throughout the Federal Republic of Germany.

The importance of the drug and especially the cannabis policy changed abruptly in the late sixties. This happened against the background of international development (international agreements) and especially the perceived in the United States' youth drug problem. " In Germany, gave the press after the lurid model in the United States of America, from the late sixties, the impression of a huge "hashish and drug wave" that threatened to overrun the country. At the same time was marked out in the public mind the image of a dramatic social problem, which was also associated with the supposedly most important domestic political event of that time together, that is mainly carried by student protest movement, which from 1966 to 1969 "Extra-Parliamentary Opposition (APO) "had been formed.

Against this background, the legislature (German Bundestag and Bundesrat) in December 1971, the Opium Act of 10 December 1929, which regulated primarily the administrative control of medical care for the population with opium, morphine and other narcotics, with a new "Law on the traffic in narcotics (Narcotics Act, the Narcotics Act)" shall be replaced.

The reasons for any drug use, a history of drug use and drug dependence are different. In this context also the reasons for drug-related crime.

Development of addiction or a dependence on drugs has always been a story. Affected mostly consumed at the beginning of a gateway drug. In heavy drug abuse or dependence after the onset of the person can not pursue a regulated or restricted life. In science, there are various explanations and theories concerning the development of addiction. The best known model for the development of addiction is multi-factor model and cause (so-called triangle of addiction Kielholz & Ladewig, 1973). It takes into account the three main components narcotics, environment and people.

As concerns the relationship between drug addiction and crime, there are several scientific studies. However, the current state of research does not generally valid statements about the relationship between drug structure and delinquency. Delinquency and substance abuse, drug use and criminal career may not be available in a causal connection but develop out of a total to be designated as deviant, deviating from social norms and values ​​of life.

The science, therefore, uses so-called dark-field studies, such as the study of adolescent drug affinity of the Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA) in order to make precise statements about the extent of drug-related crime. Basically, however, such surveys can also be a final assessment of the number of crimes actually committed.

Drug consumption in Germany is, according to the BZgA study (2004) on adolescent drug affinity, mainly cannabis. Cannabis products like marijuana and hashish were 31 percent of 12 - to 25-year-olds taken in Germany before (see diagram). A further finding of the BZgA study is that for many young illegal drugs are common knowledge. Half (49%) of 12 - to 25-year-old has already got offered drugs. A third (32%) in this age group has ever tried drugs or even several times taken.

The results of the study correlate with BZgA two international studies on unreported. On the one hand with the WHO study [12] "Health Behavior in School-aged Children" (HBSC, 2002), in some states, the health and health behaviors of students of the 5th to 9 Class of all types of schools examined.

In the U.S. it was the La Cosa Nostra (particularly through the connivance of the Sicilian Cosa Nostra Pizza Connection), in Asia it was the Triads and the Yakuza, the Middle East, Lebanon and South America Connection, the Cartell de Cocaina.

The involvement of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency in the international drug trade has been proven several times in public. The American History Professor Alfred W. McCoy, for example, in his book "The CIA and the heroin," described the involvement of U.S. intelligence in the drug trade in detail. (see # drug trafficking intelligence)

In 2005, according to UNODC figures in Afghanistan prepared 30-000 hectares of arable land for the cultivation of cannabis. This is about one-third of the acreage in Morocco, the world's largest producers of cannabis. [15]

Afghanistan won in recent years the cultivation of opium poppies again increasing in importance. The Gross Domestic Product (2002) was produced equally by the opium trade. The largest part of the international opium poppy crops in Afghanistan is today. In 2005, estimates were approximately 61% of the opiates produced in Afghanistan through Iran and Pakistan about 20% on the international market.

After the "Afghanistan Opium Survey 2005" of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in 2005 compared to 2004, opium poppy cultivation by 21% on a lower surface (104 000 ha). This is the first reduction in acreage since 2001 put dar. relativized to this success, however, by increasing productivity. In 2005, the earnings fell compared to last year so only by 2.5% to 4100 tons. It follows that in 2005 Afghanistan had share of global opium production almost no change. With 87% of global production in 2005 was Afghanistan's largest opium producer continues [16].

The UNODC's analysis of satellite imagery and ground surveys shortly before the 2006 harvest show that the opium poppy cultivation in comparison with 2005 has increased by 59%. 2006 were grown in Afghanistan to the UNODC information on about 165,000 ha of agricultural land opium poppy. The Vienna office UNODC estimates that by the year 2006 approximately 6,100 tonnes of opium extracted from the harvested opium poppy capsules. Afghanistan's opium production is increased so that the world at 92%.

The cocaine business is in Bolivia annual 1.5 to 2 billion dollars by the majority of them remain in the U.S. is estimated between $ 500 and 700 million land. This corresponded in 1997 about one third of the value of legal exports. For all the uncertainty about the actual extent of the profits from the coca-cocaine industry can be said with relative certainty that these are still substantial. The drug and Kokawirtschaft creates the face of high unemployment, low wages and an economic crisis aggravated employment and income for a significant portion of the total population of 8 million people [17]. To the coca cultivation, a violent dispute between the government and the coca farmers has erupted that led to the chaotic political situation with 2002-2003.

In research, the epoch of the Risorgimento by some historians such as Werner Daum is also broader. This set the beginning of the Italian unification movement already in the French Revolution of 1789 inspired by the republican-Jacobin uprisings and briefly Republic-ups after the first military successes of Napoleon Bonaparte in some Italian regions from 1796 (see Republic daughter). In accordance with the broader historical interpretations, the Risorgimento until 1915 - with Italy's entry into World War II - or 1919 after the war ended and the inclusion of up to then Austria-Hungary belonging to the so-called Terre irredente (Italian for "unredeemed territories") in Northern Italy considered complete.

Based on the pan-European context was originally part of the Risorgimento on classical liberalism-oriented nation-state independence and unity movements, which were directed in large parts of Europe since 1815 against the repressive policy of restoration of the States of the Holy Alliance. These movements were initially - in the first half of the 19th Century - the ideals of the French Revolution in 1789-1799 inspired, especially the civil liberties that had been spread by Napoleon Bonaparte to the European Civil Code.

In the socioeconomic sphere went hand in hand as the Risorgimento period term with the fundamental social and economic upheavals of the Industrial Revolution in the mid-18th Century took its beginning in England during the 19th and had Century, the European continental area covered. However, Italy was similar to most of the Mediterranean have long dominated agricultural. The country was at the relatively late 1860s - especially in Northern Italy - recorded by significant industrialization, while the south for a long time dominated by agriculture and pervaded by feudal-like structures remained. Nevertheless, were the Italian states, especially in relation to foreign trade, fiscal policy and pricing for exported craft and mainly affected agricultural products of the economic changes in Europe. This, however, with the restriction that primarily southern Italian regions, primarily self-sufficient and inward-looking and well managed so that initially less export-import dependent, or were tied to the international market.

Was driven by interest groups with different ideological Risorgimento orientations. The targets ranged from the establishment of a constitutional Italian monarchy (mainly supported by the Group of Moderati = moderate liberals or so-called Liberal Conservatives) to the creation of a democratic republic (represented mainly by himself from the radical liberals to extend to the early socialists factions of the Democratic national leadership =). Despite their sometimes violent political controversy all these movements was an idea in common: the French since the revolution in most European countries grew stronger, much of the first liberal-dominated revolutionary bourgeoisie ideology carried a then-progressive, more or less pronounced nationalism.

Several rebellions were directed primarily against the domination of the Spanish Bourbons in the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, and against the Habsburg Austrians in northern and central Italy. These surveys widened out to about revolutions and wars that led to the Italian unit of Piedmont-Sardinia in 1861, led ultimately "from above" - ​​was enforced - as a constitutional monarchy with a hereditary throne of the House of Savoy. The preliminary conclusion of the territorial state formation took place in 1870 after the capture of Rome and the Lazio in 1860 after remaining Papal States by Italian troops.

In December 1774 he arrived in Philadelphia. There he changed his surname from Paine to Pain. [3] He co-editor of the Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Advertiser the, where he was, among other things on 8th March 1775 a treatise against slavery (African Slavery in America) published. [4] where he showed for the first time as a scout. Paine took up the fight against inhumanity, which he continued throughout his life, and demanded the release of the blacks, but he also thought immediately of the economic consequences. His essay was the first of his works immediate practical consequences: After the publication of essays on 14 April 1775 in Philadelphia, the first American society for the abolition of slavery was founded. Among the founding members was Thomas Paine. And decades later, no less famous than Abraham Lincoln, the liberator of slaves, how much he owed to Paine findings.
Paine wrote a pamphlet called "Common Sense", in which he explained that were the only solution to the problems with Britain a republic and independence.

In April 1775 was at Lexington had a first military clash with British troops. Nevertheless, the Continental Congress of the colonies sought in the conflict with Britain still has a reconciliation with the mother country. In October 1775 Paine published a short article A serious thought (dt A serious thought), in which he spoke for the first time of independence. In January 1776 appeared his pamphlet Common Sense (dt Common Sense). Free from any emotional ties to England explained to Paine, that it is for America to gain independence and establish a new, democratic system of government founded on the principles of human rights. Common Sense was an unprecedented success, more than half a million copies were sold and distributed, and that in a country that was one of about three million inhabitants. Illiterate was read the scripture. Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence on 4 July was signed in 1776 was decisively influenced by common sense. Paine was the first who suggested the new nation "United States of America" ​​to name.

Was seen after a series of military defeats, the Paine with the troops, the morale of the Continental Army was under the command of Washington on the ground. Paine published a series of 13 publications (one for each colony), entitled The American Crisis (dt: The American Crisis), which should give the Americans during the long struggle inspiration. The first Crisis paper was published in December 1776 and began with the immortal line: "These are the times that try men's souls" (dt: These are the times that the souls lead the people into temptation) "The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will press in this crisis from serving your country, but only he who stands firm now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. " The first Crisis paper was so encouraging that Washington had it read to all of its troops. This paper is intended to have the effect that the troops were re-motivated and not acknowledged the service, but in December 1776 won a first victory at Trenton, which allowed the survival of the first independence movement. Whenever it closely in the coming years, there appeared a new crisis, which contributed significantly to the crisis. The latest crisis came on the day of the truce with Great Britain, on 19 April 1783rd

France welcomed Paine with open arms. In four departments, he was elected to the National Assembly, he decided to Calais. Among other things, he worked with Danton and Condorcet 1792/1793 from the Girondin draft constitution, which came into force, however, does not. Although Paine was a staunch opponent of the monarchy, but he refused, as a member of the French National Assembly, the execution of Louis XVI. from. That was enough to Paine - not just for his diplomacy was known - to bring them into conflict with the increasingly radicalized revolutionary leadership. Robespierre had him on 28 December 1793 arrest and sentenced to death. Paine escaped beheading only by luck: A guard walked through the prison, marking the doors of the condemned prisoners with chalk. Even Paine's cell door was a chalk mark - but just as a doctor in the cell treated the imprisoned Paine, was open the cell door, when she was struck, was the chalk mark on the inside of the cell. Later, when the condemned man were called together, went over to Paine, was there to see the outside of his cell, no chalk mark. Three days later, was the execution of Robespierre. After his release in November 1794 Paine lived a half years in the house of the American ambassador in Paris, James Monroe, whose predecessor, Governor Morris, was not innocent in Paine's time in prison.

On the day of his arrest was the first part of his work Paine Age of Reason (dt Age of Reason) completed. In Monroe's home, he wrote the second part of this work was critical of religion. Paine is committed him to Unitarianism in [5]: "I believe in one God, and not more - and I'm hoping for a happy state after this life." He rejected the inspiration of the Old and New Testaments: "The Christian religion is a parody of the sun-worship, in which they put a character named Christ the place of the sun and let him now come to worship, which originally was the sun. "He believed that true religion is to do justice, mercy to and our fellow human beings have to make them happy. [6] This work also became a bestseller.

His last great pamphlet, Agrarian Justice (dt: Agri-justice) appeared in the Winter 1795/96. Paine's ideas developed here from Rights of Man and further demonstrated how the establishment of land ownership, the vast majority of people stayed away from their natural heritage and the possibilities of independent survival. The management of the social security agency of the United States sees in Agrarian Justice, the first American proposal for a system of old-age pension.

Bassett was a member of the committee that the entry into force of the first constitution of Delaware on 20 September 1776 was responsible. He then spent four legislative periods (1776/77-1779/80) Member of the Senate (Legislative Council), were approved at this time only to the landowners. In 1780 to 1782 he was a deputy in the House of Representatives from Delaware (House of Assembly) to switch it back to the Senate. Except for the legislative period 1785/86 Bassett was therefore representative of the Delaware General Assembly of the Declaration of Independence up to the adoption of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. Richard Bassett was a strong supporter of the Connecticut Compromise, and so agreed that Delaware only five months after the first country to Philadelphia. Since then, Delaware bears the nickname The First State.

With the creation of the new government elected Richard Bassett was one of the first representatives of the General Assembly into the Senate of the United States. His period of service ranged from 4 March 1789 to 3rd März 1793rd Bassett was a fundamental support for the Federalists John Adams and Vice President and President George Washington. He refused, however an extreme extension of the rights of the President, as requested by Alexander Hamilton from. Bassett, 1792, was, as has occurred in 1776, with John Dickinson responsible for organizing the committee, which conducted a review of the old Constitution of Delaware. On 12 June 1792 the Committee adopted the new Constitution.

After his term as Senator Bassett took over the management of the Court of Common Pleas in Delaware, before he was elected governor in 1799. His tenure also probably the toughest presidential campaign was in U.S. history. The election of Thomas Jefferson, in his capacity Republicans and supporters of greater freedom of the individual states in the presidential election of 1800 further sealed the political career of the Federalists Bassett. The outgoing President Adams passed the so-called Midnight Judges Act, which allowed him to newly created posts in the United States Circuit Court to fill the forerunner of today's U.S. federal courts with Federalists. Bassett was awarded such a post by John Adams on his last working day and thus ended his duties as governor. The Republicans, however, Jefferson did after he took office on 4 March 1801 the Midnight Judges Act, reversed and dismissed all newly hired federalists. Bassett finished his post in April 1802 and was active until his death in 1815 no longer in public office.
