Repeal of the Judiciary Act of 1801- The Judiciary Act of 1801, expanded the federal court system and allowed President John Adams to pack the Judicial Branch with members of his Federalist Party was repealed by the new Congress (Repeal Act of March 8, 1802) after Thomas Jefferson succeeded Adams in office. Congress passed a replacement, the Judiciary Act of 1802, on April 29, 1802, in order to rid themselves of the sixteen new Federalist Circuit judges who were appointed to relieve the Supreme Court justices of their Circuit riding responsibilities.

The movement began around 1780, gained momentum by 1800, and after 1820 membership rose rapidly among Baptist and Methodist congregations whose preachers led the movement. It was past its peak by the 1840s. It has been described as a reaction against skepticism, deism, and rational Christianity, although why those forces became pressing enough at the time to spark revivals is not fully understood. It enrolled millions of new members in existing evangelical denominations and led to the formation of new denominations. Many converts believed that the Awakening heralded a new millennial age. The Second Great Awakening stimulated the establishment of many reform movements designed to remedy the evils of society before the anticipated Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
