In retrospect, I'm not sure that Jefferson would have agreed with many of the turns and transformations that the Democratic-Republican party underwent after he left office. Formed in the 1790s by Jefferson and Madison, the party had dwindled and lost influence by the 1820s. For sure, Madison upheld the party's originally staunch support for states' rights and republicanism most successfully, but, as history showed, upholding republican views of hard-pressed states' rights and an enormous admiration for yeoman farmers is difficult from the federal position of the Presidency. Some of the first cracks in the party's ideology came after the War of 1812 had ended under the Madison administration. The war had been an administrative mess, considering the US, at that point, had limited military and economic ability. After watching the US' struggles in the war, Madison began embracing a stronger national government, military, and national bank towards the end of his presidency -- all characteristics antithetical to Dem-Rep ideology. James Monroe continued the loosening of Jeffersonian values with his system of appointments. Monroe largely ignored party lines in making appointments, a decision that led to the so-called "era of good feelings" under his presidency, but that otherwise turned a cheek to Jefferson's insistence of staunch party alliances. Even more, by the end of Monroe's presidency the Federalist party had experienced a stark decline, and so the real purpose and mission of the D-R party, to oppose the federalists, was beginning to diminish. While John Quincy Adams upheld the American republicanism, self-determinism, and noninterventionism that was characteristic of the Dem-Rep party in his diplomatic efforts, his strong support for a national university, federal intervention in the arts and sciences, and high tariffs severely strayed from the once resolute republican and anti-federal values of the Democratic-Republican party. When JQA was defeated by Andrew Jackson in 1828, the party was dissolved.
