The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The question does not include options. We do not know the name of the individuals you are referring to. You also did not mention what period in the history of the US you are referring to.

Although there was marked shift in the collective consciousness of the

Thomas Jefferson was a large follower of neoclassicism, and made the architecture of the government buildings follow the neoclassical themes and designs. Neoclassicism is a movement that stylizes romantic elements from the classical age (Ancient Greece, Rome) that influences the design of buildings, arts, etc. Jefferson was a supporter of the movement, designing his own home at Monticello with Greco-Roman influence as well as most government buildings in the US.<span />
