Which features of Jefferson's domestic policy agenda were the most successful and why?
What will be an ideal response?
Jefferson was successful in reducing the size and power of the federal government with several of his policies. For example, he repealed unpopular taxes such as the whiskey tax, replacing the lost income with profits from the sale of Western lands and tariffs on imports. He was also successful in expanding America's "empire of liberty" through the Louisiana Purchase, although this purchase went against his own ideals of small government and limited executive power. The features of Jefferson's agenda that were most successful were those that were not radical revisions of earlier Federalist interests; instead, they were those that appealed to both political parties and many different groups of people in the United States.
