The correct answer would be Democratic-Republicans

Thomas Jefferson was politically affiliated with the Democratic-Republicans.

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States of America, occupying the position between 1801 and 1809. He is considered one of the Founding Fathers of the nation.

As a political philosopher, Jefferson was a man of the Enlightenment and knew many intellectual leaders in Britain and France. He idealized the small independent landowner as an example of republican virtues, distrusted cities and financiers, and favored the rights of states and a strictly limited federal government. Jefferson supported the separation of Church and State and was the author of the Statute for Religious Liberty of Virginia (1779, 1786). He was the epitome of Jeffersonian democracy and leader and co-founder with James Madison of the Democratic-Republican Party, which dominated American politics for 25 years.
