Answer:

He thought a popular government garnered strength more so than a forceful government.

Step-by-step explanation:

As an anti-federalist advocator, Thomas Jefferson strongly opposed to the establishment of a strong government that had adittional powers than those stated in the Constitution as he feared that the government would abuse from its power. Instead, he found necessary to give more power to the states and the people, as he thought a popular government garnered strength more than a forceful government.
