Treason and the U.S. Constitituion[edit]

I changed the article to say that the U.S. Constitution requires two witnesses in the charge of treason. It's not something that Marshall made up. (this unsigned contribution was added on 11 July 2006 by 209.221.185.146)

Theodosia Burr Alston[edit]

Linked Theodosia (daughter) to her Wiki page

Semi-protected edit request on 19 June 2020[edit]

Change "During this time, he cooperated with the Holland Land Company in gaining passage of a law to permit aliens to hold and convey lands." to "During this time, he cooperated with the Holland Land Company in gaining passage of a law to permit foreigners to hold and convey lands." 79.36.133.13 (talk) 03:47, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: This is a US article, so alien is acceptable terminology. I've added a link to Alien (law) to explain the term, though. Darren-M talk 17:58, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

1800 Election[edit]

In the lead-in, it sounds like Aaron Burr was Jefferson's running-mate in the 1800 election, which wasn't the case, as there were no running mates and the second-place candidate became vice president. As I understand it, Burr was running for the Federalists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.139.107.213 (talk) 08:36, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
