After we had won our independence, Jefferson firmly believed that in this new nation there would be no kings or queens or monarchy rule. To avoid this he wanted to establish the law that the United States would be run by the people thus creating the cabinet and the president and also allowing American citizens that met certain qualifications to vote on the representatives because it gave more power back to the people.
