    Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican who had no patience with the Federalists’ view that only the "best people" should rule. To Democratic-Republicans, this view came close to monarchy, or rule by a king.

    Democratic-Republicans believed that the best government was the one that governed the least. A small government with limited powers was most likely to leave the people alone to enjoy the blessings of liberty. To keep the national government small, they insisted on a strict construction, or interpretation, of the Constitution. The Constitution, they insisted, meant exactly what it said, no more and no less. Any addition to the powers listed there, was unconstitutional and dangerous.
