  Democratic-Republican Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Republican Party evolved from the political factions that opposed Alexander Hamilton's fiscal policies in the early 1790s; these factions are known variously as the Anti-Administration "Party" or the Anti-Federalists.
In the mid-1790s, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison organized these factions into a party and helped define its ideology in favor of yeomen farmers, strict construction of the Constitution, and a weaker federal government.
The new Republican party was especially effective in building up a newtork of newspapers in every major city that broadcast its statements and editorialized in its favor.

 Issues in S and T, Fall 1999, A Vision of Jeffersonian Science
It is of course true that Jeffersonian arguments are already being made from time to time and from case to case, as problems of practical importance are used to justify federal support of basic science.
This selection of a research topic illustrates that Press's Jeffersonian initiative was able in advance to target a basic research issue whose potential benefits were understood in principle at the time but whose dramatic magnitude could not have been foreseen (and might well not have been targeted in a narrow application-oriented research program).
A revitalization of the Jeffersonian mode of science would provide a promising additional model for future science policies, one that would be especially relevant in the current state of disorientation about the role of science in society.

 Something of the Jeffersonian Religion [Free Republic]

 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.
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.
The origins of this party lie in the Anti-Federalist Party, the group that opposed the adoption of the United States Constitution and insisted on the Bill of Rights.

 Economy in Government, Jeffersonian Style   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In the final analysis, the Jeffersonian thrust to remove taxes was a part of their effort to limit government and free people for the management of their own affairs.
The Jeffersonians did not often have to appeal to this restraint, at least the Presidents didn't, for Congress was little disposed to adventures in spending either, during this era.
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.

The movement was led by President Thomas Jefferson.

As a cultural phenomenon, the Jeffersonian explosion was not a movement controlled or shaped by scholars or professional historians.

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.

The Jeffersonians were meanwhile winning popular support not only among Southern landowners but also among the mechanics, workers, and generally the less privileged everywhere.
Merchants and shipowners were opposed to the Embargo Act of 1807, which caused considerable economic loss to the seaboard cities, and their feelings were expressed through the Federalist party.
The Federalists, however, failed to enlist De Witt Clinton and his followers in New York in their cause, and their challenge in the elections of 1808 was easily overridden by the Jeffersonians.

 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 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.
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.

 Tucker, View of the Constitution of the United States with Selected Writings ToC: The Online Library of Liberty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
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.
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.
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.

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.

 Inside Higher Ed :: Jeffersonian Tradition or Shoddy Imitation?
The faculty members contend that buildings that have been erected on campus over the last two decades have done a disservice to the Jeffersonian style — Thomas Jefferson founded the university in 1819 and designed the original campus – by attempting to make look-alikes and by paying too little attention to the use of buildings.
But the professors who signed the letter say the new buildings are a mockery of Jeffersonian classicism, rather than a fitting tribute.
