Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jeffersonian Republican was a republican party philosophy in the early 19th century that supported agrarian democracy, reduced federal spending and limited national government. They believed in a French-American Alliance, a strict interpretation of the Constitution, and the removal of the national bank.

The Federalists supported Hamilton's financial policies, favored loose interpretation of the Constitution, and enjoyed a more powerful federal government.

This set the stage for the political parties' arguments during the election of the 1800.
