The Correct answer is B. "Most of the governing of the populace should remain in the hands of the states."

Explanation:

Jefferson Republican is a political ideology birthed by Thomas Jefferson in 1800 in the United States which believed that the National Government should be limited and the reduction of Federal spending. They propagated the empowerment of States and decentralization of power to suppress tyranny and aristocracy.

They believed that tyranny threatened the people's right to liberty and that people should control the government. They also believed that a simple Government will best fit the need of the people.
