Jefferson belonged to the Democrat-Republicans who supported lower tariffs

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Jefferson and Madison supported the strict interpretation of the constitution therefore, option D is not correct. Hamilton favoured the idea of a national bank and Jefferson was against it, thereby, option C is also not correct.

Jefferson and Madison did not support the scheme of implementing tariffs in order to pay the national debt and national bond through the government which would take up from the people. Hamilton favored this idea, and wanted to raise the tariff in order to pay the debt. Therefore, option A is true for Jefferson.
