Detailed explanation-1: -After John Adams, their candidate, was elected president in 1796, the Federalists began to decline. The Federalists’ suppression of free speech under the Alien and Sedition Acts, and the assumption of closer relations with Britain instead of France, inflamed Jeffersonian Republicans.
Detailed explanation-2: -Defeated by the Jeffersonian Republicans in 1800, it became a minority party while keeping its stronghold in New England and made a brief resurgence by opposing the War of 1812. It then collapsed with its last presidential candidate in 1816. Remnants lasted for a few years afterwards.
Detailed explanation-3: -The party ceased to exist at the end of the War of 1812. Numerous Federalists opposed the war because many of these men earned their living through trade.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sedition Act trials, along with the Senate’s use of its contempt powers to suppress dissent, set off a firestorm of criticism against the Federalists and contributed to their defeat in the election of 1800, after which the acts were repealed or allowed to expire.
