describe the Democratic Republicans

The Democratic-Republicans were a political party that lasted from 1792-1825. 3rd-5th U.S. Presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe all belonged to the Democratic-Republican party. The Democratic-Republicans essentially upheld Republicanism governmentally. But the one faction of the political party that was Democratic in its values and outlook ultimately caused the twofold political party to fold, which led to the founding of the two separate major Democratic and Republican political parties.

The Democratic Republicans, or Jeffersonian Republicans, or simply Republicans, were one of America's first political parties. This party formed in the early 1790s as a reaction to the policies of Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton's policies favored business and trade interests, strong central government power, and strong trade relations with England. The Jeffersonians, led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, favored instead southern agricultural interests, a weak central government, and support for the principles of the French Revolution instead of stronger ties to England.
