How did adams' foreign and domestic policy cost the federalist the election of 1800?me

Adam's foreign policy led to the division of the Federalist Party as it decided to be in a neutral stance with the war between France and England.  However, France did not see neutrality in America's trade with England.  

Adam's fear of France made him create a domestic policy connected with a foreign decision,  the Alien and Sedition Act. In his belief, this would help prevent France from getting into American government. The people did not believe that this can be a solution to the involvement in the quasi-war.  These events made the people them lose their confidence to vote Adam for President.

Herodotus taught that absolute right and wrong did exist.
