The correct answers are options A. First secretary of state, C. Considered a liberal, and D. Father of the Democratic-Republican Party.

Option B is incorrect because John Adams was the second President of the United States, from 1797 to 1801; Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States, from 1801 to 1809.

Option A is correct because Thomas Jefferson served as the first Secretary of State between 1790 and 1793, under President George Washington.

Option C is also correct as Jefferson can be considered a liberal because he believed that governments were instituted by the people and that the only legitimate purpose of government was to protect people's rights, ideas expressed in the Declaration of Independence.

Option D is correct because Jefferson, in 1792, together with James Madison, founded the Democratic-Republican Party to oppose Hamilton’s Federalist Party.
