(The actual group to which Jefferson belonged was theanti-Federalists. The party he helped found was the"Democratic-Republicans", one faction of which became theDemocratic Par…ty, and the other the Whigs. ) Thomas Jefferson was neither Republican nor Democrat because thepolitical platforms of these two parties would not have stood achance in his time. The two parties have been hopelesslyauthoritarian and unworkable, and they would have been in his time.He was effectively a liberal, secular humanist, which would becloser, in today's world, to the Democratic Party. Perhaps this will help Jefferson can be described as an anti-Federalist, while Hamiltonwas a Federalist. Jefferson believed in a small but powerfulpeacetime navy, no peacetime army, and minimal government intrusionin people's lives. If Jefferson were alive today, he would mostlikely be a Libertarian.

What is a Democratic-Republican?
The Democratic-Republicans was one of the first political parties in the United States , founded by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison around 1792. They originally called the…mselves the Anti-Federalists in opposition to the dominant Federalist Party that founded the new United States government. The Federalists favored a strong central government and held elitist values. The Democratic-Republicans supported states' rights, limited government, and a strict interpretation of the Constitution. In 1800, the Democratic Republicans won both the Presidential (Jefferson) and Vice-Presidential offices, as well as the majority of seats in Congress, causing a shift in the direction of government. The Judicial branch was still dominated by Federalists, however, and most heavily influenced by Chief Justice John Marshall, who ensured the federal government retained dominance over the states. The party split into the Democrats and Republicans in 1824, but were not the same as the Democrats and Republicans of the 21st century. The Republican Party mutated quite a few times over the years, becoming the Whig Party from 1833-1856, which then split into the Free Soil and Know-Nothing parties, as well as a new incarnation of the Republicans.

This schism inthe Democratic Party was mostly healed after the 1948 Presidentialelection when Truman won the election despite the Dixiecratssplitting the Democratic vote. Truman made moves during hisPresidency to eliminate the threat of the Dixiecrats competingagain in 1952. Upon the passageof the Civil Rights Act, many southern Democrats again becamedisillusioned with their party after the implicit support for thelaw by Lyndon Johnson. The southern Democrats nominated GeorgeWallace in 1968 on a platform of re-instating segregation andopposing the continued implementation of the Civil Rights Act. Uponthe shooting of Wallace, the energy mostly left what was left ofthe southern Democrats rebellion.

Is the hill news republican or democrat?
The Hill is less of a partisan newspaper, and more of an "inside baseball," publication. It features pundits from both sides of the ideological spectrum, and includes many art…icles from politicians from both parties. So although The Hill isn't really permanently skewed one way or the other, it generally isn't a great place to get unbiased information. You can just get very biased info from all sides there.
