The Glorious Revolution of 1688 was a peaceful transfer of power that changed England's government. There was no blood spilled during the Glorious revolution and when William and Mary took the throne, they agreed to a constitutional monarchy and a bill of rights.
yes it was since Hamilton convinced the federalists to support Jefferson and win the election of 1800; the election became known as the revolution of 1800 and as a peaceful change of power.
The peaceful transition of power from one political party to another.
The election of 1800 was significant because another party came into power after eight years. It was the first time there was transition of power in the new nation and it was peaceful. It has been ever since.
Jefferson referred to his victory in the 1800 US Presidential election the "Second American Revolution". He called it that because the election finally swept President Adams and his Federalist Party out of power. The Federalists had largely controlled the whole Federal government since 1789; Washington was not a Federalist, but he had a tendency to go along with Federalist policies. So in 1801, when Jefferson took control, he was the first Democratic-Republican to have control of the government; he also had a friendly Congress to work with, as his party took control of both the House and the Senate.
It was important to have a peaceful election because the election of 1800 marked the first time there was to be a transition of power, and the two opposing sides had waged a bitter battle. America was the first new nation, and the first democracy in modern times, so it was important the election went well.
Power is transferred by voting. We have an election and vote for the people we want. Sometimes our person wins, sometimes our person doesn't, but it is peaceful and it works.
