Washington established the precedents of the office, including the cabinet system and the voluntary surrender of power after two terms. The early presidents from Adams through John Quincy Adams, most of them Virginians or Adamses, defined the limits of federal authority, doubled the nationâs territory through the Louisiana Purchase, and confronted the strains of the War of 1812. Andrew Jacksonâs election ushered in mass democracy and a more assertive executive, while the antebellum presidents struggled, and largely failed, to contain the sectional conflict over slavery.
