Answer:As a political philosopher, Jefferson favored the rights of states and a strictly limited federal government. This vision was contrary to that of John Marshall, who believed in the need for a strong and broad federal government, capable of resolving the conflicts of its people and guaranteeing the rights of its citizens.
