Eden Blanchard · Answer 2

The right choice is:

a. He was talking about freedom that secured America's independence.

Explanation:

Jefferson's electoral victory in 1800 followed a controversial and unpopular presidency of John Adams. During Adams' administration, a series of controversial laws, the Allien and Sedition Acts had been passed. Approved at a time when war with France was feared, the laws allowed the executive branch to arrest, imprison and judge people and to censor newspapers. The Acts caused much outrage because many American saw their freedoms could be easily infringed and could lead to power abuses. So, Jefferson campaigned against them in the 1800 electoral race, being elected.
