 Democratic-Republican Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
In what is sometimes referred to as the "Revolution of 1800", the Republicans took control of the Presidency and both houses of Congress, beginning a quarter century of control of those institutions.
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.

 Hamdan Yousuf
While traditional Jeffersonian Republicanism advocated a strict interpretation of the Constitution and an emphasis on an agrarian economic system, the actual policies of Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were markedly different from their theoretical principles.
This obvious compromise of Jeffersonian principles is evident in the Federal government’s assumption of broad-based political powers and institution of capitalistic Hamiltonian economic reforms, both of which stemmed from Jefferson and Madison’s adoption of broad constructionist policies.
However, the era of the Jeffersonian compromise was not over; After the War of 1812, the Republicans became avid supporters of The First Bank of the United States, ironically, which can be said to be the reason the schism between the Republicans and the Federalists had taken place in the first place.

 Essay V: 1800-1848
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.
One major exception was the Jefferson administration's frantic, sweeping, and largely unavailing series of attempts to enforce the Embargo of 1807; this measure produced "big government" of a kind barely imagined by Alexander Hamilton in his most theoretical musings, and not paralleled until the Civil War in 1861-1865 and the New Deal in the 1930s.
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.
