What happened to the Federalist Party during Adams presidency?

Answer 1

It approached its demise. It began to splinter into 2 distinct groups - the moderate Federalists, like John Adams, and the High Federalists, like Alexander Hamilton. With the election of 1800 it declined further, and in 1804 (following the death of Alexander Hamilton, in a duel) it collapsed. It stayed alive for a while, but it was disorganized without its leader and was not as powerful as the Democratic-Republicans, who enjoyed a decade or two without opposition.

Answer 2

Within a few years, their party no longer existed. The urban commercial and financial interests it championed represented a small minority in an expanding agricultural nation. Their elitism and distrust of popular self-government placed Federalists more and more at odds with the new nation's democratic ethos.

Answer 3

The Federalists, as a viable political party had ceased to exist at the time of James Monroe's first electionas President. Monroe easily won reelection to a second term in 1820 as he essentially ran unopposed. Monroe (and his predecessor James Madison) were stout disciples of Thomas Jeffersons republican or Anti-Federalist beliefs (emphasis on lower case "r" in the word "republican"). These various political beliefs and tenets would eventually morph into the Democratic-Republican party and its newly created opposition known as the Whig party during the middle nineteenth century.
