The Democratic-Republican Party favored the protection of states' rights and containment of federal power.

Hey there! Sorry apparently you forgot to write down the options, but let me do my best!

The Democratic-Republican Party was founded in the 1790s by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The party supported republicanism and political equality, and condemned the Federalism as adherents of aristocracy and monarchy.

Thomas Jefferson supported a doctrine characterized by his conviction in agrarianism (philosophy that prices rural societies better than urban societies) and also rigid restrictions on government.

After Jefferson's belief in equal rights, around 1824 all states, but three, eliminated landholding conditions for vote.

Thomas Jefferson saw a central government as a threat to liberty. The Republicans objected Federalist measures to create a centralized state and opposed the setting up of a national bank. He was particularly opposed to a national debt, since he considered immoral.
