Jefferson wasn't a federalist. He believed that there shouldn't be a powerful central government and in many ways was a true revolutionary. He wanted to reduce the means and the power of government.

Why did Jefferson not want to keep William marbury on federal payroll?

Thomas Jefferson opposed keeping William Marbury on the federal payroll primarily because Marbury was appointed as a federal judge during John Adams' administration, which Jefferson viewed as an attempt by the outgoing president to entrench Federalist influence in the judiciary. Jefferson believed that Marbury's appointment was politically motivated and counter to his vision of a more democratic government. Additionally, Jefferson sought to minimize Federalist power in the federal government, seeing Marbury's retention as inconsistent with his own Republican principles.
