Strict Constructionism= he more loosly accepted the constitution (example; Louisianna purchase was not consitutional so he made an amendment to the constitution to make it constitutional)
Federal Government= he gave the federal gov. more say over states rights (example; embargo act, no states could trade with outside countries, federal law over all states)
Militarism= Jefferson hated militaries so he greatly reduced the land army to a small police force and the American navy to a "Mosquito fleet" of small gunboats. this was very bad for US because when war of 1812 came they had a very bad defence force. Instead of strengthening the navy when tentions arised Jefferson passed the Embargo Act of 1807 restricting trade with outside nations.

Depends. Some say it is Thomas Jefferson as part of the Democratic-Republicans. Otherwise it would be Lincoln who ran under the "Republican" ticket to be acknowledged as a Republican president. If you mean the first Republican that has the same political ideology as the current Republicans, then that would be Nixon.
the party believes what Thomas Jefferson believes. Like he is for small government. So just look it up on the internet and find what Jefferson believes.
Abraham Lincoln was the first president who was a member of the modern Republican party. Some sources, particularly simplified charts, describe earlier presidents as being republican, but that was a different and not directly related party, which was formally called the Republican Democratic party. Thomas Jefferson, for example, is often cited as being the first Republican president, but he was, in fact, a Republican Democrat.
this is some booty
Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison were the creators of the Democratic-Republican party, and James Monroe was a famous person in that party too.
In the election of 1796, Thomas Jefferson represented the Democratic-Republican party against John Adams, who was a Federalist. John Adams won, and since Jefferson came in second, he became the vice president. Having a specific vice presidential candidate did not occur until some years later.
Hamilton and Jefferson had different ideologies. Commonalities include both being writers, both served their state legislatures, and both held national offices prior to Presidency. they both had faith in the republican society
Some examples of political party animal logos include the Republican Party's elephant and the Democratic Party's donkey. These symbols are commonly used to represent each party's values and beliefs.
Modding = modifying. Means changing it in some way.

This is a highly ambiguous question, Jefferson had a LOT to say about government (due to his involvement). Some of his sayings maybe: * "The principles of government... [are] founded in the rights of man." --Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824. ME 16:51 * "It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all." --Thomas Jefferson to Francois D'Ivernois, 1795. FE 7:4 * "The mother principle [is] that 'governments are republican only in proportion as they embody the will of their people, and execute it.'" --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:33 * "The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind." --Thomas Jefferson: Reply to Address, 1790. ME 8:6, Papers 16:225 * "[To establish republican government, it is necessary to] effect a constitution in which the will of the nation shall have an organized control over the actions of its government, and its citizens a regular protection against its oppressions." --Thomas Jefferson to Lafayette, 1816. ME 19:240 * "If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of the most extensive corruption, indifferent and incapable of a wholesome care over so wide a spread of surface." --Thomas Jefferson to William T. Barry, 1822. ME 15:389 * "The people through all the States are for republican forms, republican principles, simplicity, economy, religious and civil freedom." --Thomas Jefferson to Edward Livingston, 1800. ME 10:164 See related link for more quotes, that may answer your question more directly.
AnswerThomas Jefferson, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence and third president of the United States of America, approved of some of Jesus' moral sentiments but questioned the miracles of the New Testament. He produced a thin volume which is called "The Jefferson Bible," edited literally with a razor and paste. He was associated with the Episcopal Church, but stated, "Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear." In terms of religious beliefs, perhaps he was an agnostic.
