 | | 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. | | | 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. |

| | Reader's Companion to American History - -JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRACY |
| | 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. | | | 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. | | | But the embargo was repealed before Jefferson left office, and when he retired from political life, he left a legacy of faith in the people and a widening popular participation that continued to shape the development of American democracy. |

| | The Thomas Jefferson Papers - American Sphinx - (American Memory from the Library of Congress) |
| | For most of American history, Jefferson was cast in the lead role in the dramatic clash between democracy and aristocracy, with Alexander Hamilton usually playing the opposite lead. | | | 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. |

| | 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. |

| | Jacksonian America performs an additional service: it makes a major, if unheralded, contribution to America’s vaunted "soft power." It is not simply the Jeffersonian commitment to liberty and equality, the Wilsonian record of benevolence, anti-colonialism and support for democracy, or even the commercial success resulting from Hamiltonian policies that attracts people to the United States. | | | Jacksonians are armed for defense: of the home and person against robbers; against usurpations of the federal government; and of the United States against its enemies. | | | Jacksonian America is a folk community with a strong sense of common values and common destiny; though periodically led by intellectually brilliant men—like Andrew Jackson himself—it is neither an ideology nor a self-conscious movement with a clear historical direction or political table of organization. |

| | 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. |

| | So you look at somebody like Ralph Nader as a Jeffersonian, who sees the Word Trade Organization (WTO) as a corporate, big-government plot against democracy at home and democracy abroad. | | | Then you've got its opposite, the Jeffersonian view, which says the United States government should not go hand-in-glove with corporations. | | | That's the logic of antiwar movements, and we've certainly seen a lot of Jeffersonian [values] over the generations. |

| | That is why that although their foundational literature abhors the Constitution in both subtle and direct language, their public statements focus almost exclusively on one thing - Jeffersonian democracy - that is: the belief that direct or semi-direct democracy is best for America, best for Europe, and best for a high-tech, highly interconnected world. | | | Little surprise, then, that in short order the disorder of democracy set the stage for financial and military interests to combine in a scheme to anoint Washington as King George I of America so that "order, confidence and credit" might be restored. | | | What Jefferson meant by "the middle" was that the new United States rejected pure monarchy, pure oligarchy and pure democracy - for all three were known to produce tyranny (and democracy the worst of tyrannies) - and instead chose to mix the best elements of each, while placing checks upon the worst of them. |
