In 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.
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, enforced a shipping
embargo, go to war, and ultimately to support a national bank
during Madison's administration. This book explores the logic and
logistics of Jeffersonian statesmanship. Focusing on Jeffersonian
Republican statecraft in action, Jeffersonians in Power maps the
meeting place of ideology and policy as Jeffersonians shifted from
being an oppositional party to exercising power as the ruling
coalition. Contributors: Andrew Burstein, Louisiana State
