{"product_id":"jeffersonians-in-power-joanne-b-freeman-9780813943053","title":"Jeffersonians in Power: The Rhetoric of Opposition Meets the Realities of Governing","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1790s, the Jeffersonian Republicans were the party of \"no.\" They opposed attempts to expand the government's role in society, criticized the Washington administration's national bank, railed against a standing army, and bemoaned the spirit of the Federalist regime, which, they claimed, favored elite over ordinary Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Accordingly, Thomas Jefferson asserted that his election as President in 1801 was a \"revolution\" with Jeffersonians in power, the government could be stripped down in size and strength. But there was a paradox at the heart of this image. Maintaining the security, stability, and prosperity of the republic required aggressive statecraft, and as a result, Jeffersonians deployed state power to reduce taxes and the debt, enforce a shipping embargo, go to war, and ultimately to support a national bank during Madison's administration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the logic and logistics of Jeffersonian statesmanship. Focusing on Jeffersonian Republican statecraft in action, \u003ci\u003eJeffersonians in Power\u003c\/i\u003e maps the meeting place of ideology and policy as Jeffersonians shifted from being an oppositional party to exercising power as the ruling coalition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: Andrew Burstein, Louisiana State University * Benjamin L.
