Which political party advocated states' rights over federal authority?

A.) Republican Party

B.) Democratic-Republican Party

C.) Democratic Party

D.) Federalist Party

I believe it's B, the Democratic-Republican Party. The name "Democratic Party" didn't come until the 1830s, and the Republican Party valued the opposite at the time. The Federalist Party believed in a strong national government that prioritized the economy and a friendly relationship with Britain.
