Answer A was not a belief of the Democratic-Republicans

Nola Ray · Answer 2

The correct answer is A. The establishment of ties with Great Britain was not a belief of the Democratic-Republicans.

Explanation:

The Democratic-Republican Party opposed the British monarchical tradition, instead favoring the republicanism of France. Therefore, it wanted to establish ties with France.

On the other hand, the Federalist Party supported Britain in face of what they considered a serious threat to their conservative values: the French Revolution.
