Explain how jefferson's republicanism shaped and reflected the nation's democratic culture.
RUDIKE [14]

Thomas Jefferson´s Republicanism refers to the believe in virtue, with priority for the ¨plain folks¨ that referred to ordinary Americans. Jeffersonian Republicanism is deeply committed to American Republicanism, which means fighting against aristocracy and corruption. He advocated for liberty from government oppressions and relished the French Revolution. He was not an anarchist, but rather thought that the policies established during the 1790´s limited personal freedoms gave more power to the executive power; more than, according to Jeffersonian Republicanism, was not suppose to be. This ideology also feared a big military, and instead opted for a smaller size army of about 3,000 soldiers and only 6 naval ships. A few characteristics of Jefferson´s Republicanism is still visible to this day in America´s democratic culture; the fight against corruption and any form of Monarchy are still in use, as well as the individual freedoms. Besides being an American Founding Father, he was the main author of the Declaration of Independence. In conclusion, Thomas Jefferson´s Republicanism still dominates and guides American values and those believes are now what characterizes the United States around the world.

ale4655 [162]
(This may be completely wrong because it's from a religious PoV) I believe it isn't. I believe the first people on Earth were Adam and Eve, and that they lived in peace, under God, and the only time they had a problem is when the serpent (the Devil disguised as a snake) told them to eat a fruit from the Garden, and when they did, they sinned, meaning they realized they were naked, and now humans don't live as long as they used to. That's how I view it. ~Mia
