As a Republican, Jefferson believed in strong state governments and a modestly powerful central, federal government. During Adam's presidency prior to his own, Jefferson and other Republicans saw the federal government taking too large of a role and asserting its power in ways that overstepped what they believed the Constitution allowed. When Jefferson came to power, he made a large effort to limit the power of the federal government by abolishing all internal taxes. By the end of his presidency, he had also reduced the national debt by half, mostly by reducing government spending.
