 Encyclopedia: Jeffersonian Republican
In addition, some refer to the party as the Jeffersonian Republicans since Thomas Jefferson belonged to the party and had a major influence on its ideology; it is also referred to as simply the Republican Party, not to be confused with the modern Republican Party.
The Federalists and the Jeffersonian Republicans held opposing views on many issues.
Additionally, this party should not be confused with Jeffersonian democracy, a term used to indicate the period when the government was run by aristocratic learned men, as opposed to the period of Jacksonian democracy where the common man ran the government.

 Reader's Companion to American History - -JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRACY
As a slaveholder who nevertheless opposed the institution of slavery, Jefferson drew support from both slaveholders and opponents of slavery; the Jeffersonian Republicans, however, did not include emancipation in their democratic agenda.
The Jeffersonian Republicans found little support among the banking, manufacturing, and commercial interests attracted to Hamilton's vision of an industrial America.
The philosophical roots of Jeffersonian Democracy are to be found in the ideas of the Enlightenment and in natural law that Jefferson expounded in the Declaration of Independence.

 New Georgia Encyclopedia: Jeffersonian Publishing Company
Incorporated in 1910 by the Georgia lawyer, author, and statesman Thomas E. Watson, the Jeffersonian Publishing Company was the official mouthpiece of Georgia's firebrand Populist.
Watson responded to the news through the Jeffersonian: "Now let outsiders attend to their own business, AND LEAVE OURS ALONE." For many, the episode branded Watson as an anti-Semite for the only time in his life.
Watson assailed the Journal for judicial tampering (the case was under appeal), took on northern publishers who clamored for a new trial, and began a two-year defense of Georgia's judicial system and demonstration of the guilt of the "libertine Jew." Editorials in his weekly exploded into expansive evidentiary and trial reviews in Watson's Magazine.

 Tucker, View of the Constitution of the United States with Selected Writings ToC: The Online Library of Liberty
The Jeffersonian response was the series of reports and resolutions that came out of the legislatures of Kentucky and Virginia from 1798 to 1800 and which were written by Jefferson and Madison.
For Tucker and other Jeffersonians this was an assumption by the federal legislature and executive of powers not delegated and also a violation of the separation of powers since it gave the president authority that belonged properly to the judiciary.
Tucker is the exponent of Jeffersonian republicanism, or what has been called “South Atlantic republicanism,” in contrast to the commercial republicanism of New England that has since the Civil War been taken to be the only true form of American philosophy.

 Economy in Government, Jeffersonian Style
They are called "Jeffersonians" because Jefferson founded their party-the first Republican party-and enunciated the basic principles to which they all adhered.
Although the debt was not finally extinguished until the time when Jackson was President, the Jeffersonians pointed the direction and prepared the way.
That is the keystone of the Jeffersonian case for economy in government: "The Government of the United States is a limited Government." Above all, it is limited, if it is limited, in its power to tax and to appropriate monies, for it is with these that it may extend its power and sway.

 Review: Jeffersonian America
The juxtaposition of the 'vicious few' and the 'virtuous many' became a key tool in the Jeffersonian box of political rhetoric in the acrimonious years following the ratification of the Constitution.
Onuf and Sadosky enjoy exploring the apparent paradoxes between Jeffersonian ideals of independence and self-sufficiency, and the almost routine use of government to facilitate the pursuit of happiness.
It is perhaps fitting, then, that Jeffersonian America has found a place in Blackwell’s 'Problems in American History' series, fortuitously edited by one of the pre-eminent scholars of early American history, Jack P. Greene.

 Jeffersonian Principles by Laurence M. Vance
The modern Democratic and Republican parties may like to think that they are the ideological successors of the Jeffersonians who made up the old Democratic-Republican Party, but they are as far removed from the principles of Thomas Jefferson as the east is from the west.
Jefferson Davis, in his Inaugural Address delivered in Montgomery, Alabama, in February of 1861, stated that he was "anxious to cultivate peace and commerce with all nations," and that "our policy is peace, and the freest trade our necessities will permit."

Grass-roots Jeffersonianism, what we might also call Jeffersonian fundamentalism, has a long history of its own, but for our purposes its most instructive feature is the change in its character over the past 50 years.
As a cultural phenomenon, the Jeffersonian explosion was not a movement controlled or shaped by scholars or professional historians.
What we obviously needed from the next generation of Jeffersonian scholars were some less fastidious and less friendly biographers who did not have their hearts or headquarters at Charlottesville.

 Democratic-Republican Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Contemporaries referred to it as simply the "Republican Party"; historians call it the "Democratic-Republican Party" or the "Jeffersonian Republicans" to distinguish it from the modern Republican Party.
This left the Republican Party as the sole party in the United States government, ushering in a brief hiatus from the standard political debates known as the Era of Good Feeling.
The Republican Party evolved from the political factions that opposed Alexander Hamilton's fiscal policies; these factions are known variously as the Anti-Administration "Party" or the Anti-Federalists.

 Democratic party -> Origins in Jeffersonian Democracy on Encyclopedia.com 2002
Their ideals—opposed to those of the Federalist party —came to be known as Jeffersonian democracy, based in large part on faith in the virtue and ability of the common man and the limitation of the powers of the federal government.
In the basic disagreement over the nature and functions of government and of society, the Jeffersonians advocated a society based on the small farmer; they opposed strong centralized government and were suspicious of urban commercial interests.
This group of Anti-Federalists, who called themselves Republicans or Democratic Republicans (the name was not fixed as Democratic until 1828), supported many of the ideals of the French Revolution and opposed close relations with Great Britain.

Essentially, Banning tries to make the case that the Jeffersonian Republicans were the American version of Bolingbroke's "Country Party." Moreover, he tries to demonstrate how the party advocated the classical republican values of "civic humanism." Ultimately, the book falls flat on its face.
Furthermore the Jeffersonians were initially a minority in Congress.
Anyone acquanted with Jefferson, as well as his party, should be able to see right through Banning's account.

 History: Democrats & Republican-Two Centuries of Role Reversal
Jeffersonian Republicans, despite the name, were the progenitors of the Democratic Party just as the Federalists, by a more circuitous path, eventually became today's Republican Party.
However, it was not long before the party began to fracture and so-called 'liberal' Republicans began backsliding on strictures against the unrepentant South.
Under conservative Republican presidents the ensuing reactionary courts reintroduced the mischievous doctrine of States Rights, eroding whatever legacies that remained from Reconstruction and, once again, crushing the aspirations of minorities, social reformers and Labor alike.

 The Historian: JEFFERSONIAN IDEOLOGY AND THE SECOND PARTY SYST... @ HighBeam Research
The continuity of the expansionist policy followed by the Jeffersonians and Jacksonians in the first half of the nineteenth century was sealed as early as 1803 when Jefferson purchased the Louisiana Territory.
By selecting various episodes in the conflict between the Federalists and the Jeffersonians in the eighteenth century, Jacksonians argued that the battle between "agrarians" and "aristocrats" was reborn in the nineteenth century.
The Jeffersonian coalition retained an eclectic heritage, evolving from a decentralized agrarian opposition to Federalism in the 1790s to a ruling party of vigorous nationalists in 1816.

The Republicans also reduced the army and the navy and the diplomatic establishment abroad.

 Essay V: 1800-1848
Finally, although Jeffersonian Republicans celebrated the growing democracy of America, they still conceived of politics and governance as concerns reserved for the educated, well-bred elite; the great body of the people were relegated to the role of appreciative observers who, at election time, would reward virtuous and public-spirited officials with re-election.
In this period, the rule of the "Virginia dynasty" (Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe) brought the triumph of the Republicans -- usually called the "Jeffersonian Republicans" to avoid confusion with the Republican Party that began in 1856 -- and spelled the end of the Federalist party.
Second, the Republicans tried to reduce the role of the federal government in public life, causing a corresponding rise in importance of state and local governments.
