Why is the election of 1800 called the revolution of 1800?

Answer 1

Thomas Jefferson referred to the presidential election of 1800 as the Revolution of 1800 because it ushered in a Democratic-Republican Party rule. It also lead to the eventual demise of the Federalist Party.

Answer 2

It was the first election in which the incumbent party lost the presidential election.

To call that a "revolution" is quite an exaggeration. If anything, the peaceful transfer of power demonstrated that the Constitution was working as intended (more or less).

Answer 3

The election of 1800 is called the Revolution of 1800 because power changed hands without war. The Federalist Party had held powers since George Washington's first election in 1788.
