The correct answer is C. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison formed the Democratic-Republican Party. The party was formed to oppose the Federalist Party, which, at the time, controlled much of the government. Many political scientists and historians consider the Democratic-Republican Party as the predecessor to the modern Republican Party.
