It primarily combines elements of [[File:Clib.png]] [[Classical Liberalism]], [[File:Republicanismpix.png]] [[Republicanism]], and [[File:Farm.png]] [[Agrarianism]].

In the early years of the United States, the Democratic-Republican Party originated in the early 1790s as an opposition to the Federalist Party of [[File: Hamiltonianism.png]] [[Hamiltonianism|Alexander Hamilton]]. As the country grew, the two parties became more organized, and tension between them grew stronger. The party gained political dominance in the elections of 1800 as Jefferson was elected president and it became the majority in Congress. During his presidency, Jefferson managed to reduce the national debt and government spending, reversing many Federalist policies. One of his most notable achievements is the acquisition of Louisiana from France.

The [[File:Demcr.png]] [[Democratism|Democratic Party]] became a dominant political power before being overtaken by the [[File:Conserv.png]] [[Conservatism|Republican Party]] and their opposition of slavery in the Civil War. Despite not being directly related to the party, Republicans borrowed Jefferson’s ideals of liberty and equality. Today, traces of Jeffersonian democracy can be found often in American [[File:Libertarian.png]] [[Libertarianism]] and [[File:Rpop.png]] [[Right-Wing Populism]].
