Answer:
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) is known as the main author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), which largely laid the ideological foundations of American statehood and the modern concept of individual rights; he is one of the "founding fathers" and the third president of the United States. In any of the modern textbooks on the history of political studies, he is mentioned as one of the most important figures in American political thought of the Enlightenment era.
Among the "founding fathers" of the American state, he was the most convinced and consistent supporter of democracy as a way of realizing social and political life.
Namely during his presidency, the United States established diplomatic relations with Russia.
One of the highlights of his presidency is related to the so-called Louisiana purchase from France. This acquisition doubled US territory to the West, with the fertile lands of the Mississippi Valley. This purchase corresponded to his ideal, the desire to create a "republic of small farmers."

Secretary of State Marshall suggested his plan to help rebuild European economies after World War as a way of staving off political instability and poverty conditions, which would become breeding grounds for governments that would go against freedom.
Explanation/context:
The "Marshall Plan" was named after the man who then was US Secretary of State, George C. Marshall. Officially the plan was called the European Recovery Program. Marshall announced the plan in 1947, and it went into effect in 1948. The intent was to provide aid and rebuilding to European economies after the damaging effects of World War II.
In his speech introducing the plan, Secretary Marshall presented the plan as aid for any and all nations, saying : "Our policy is not directed against any country, but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Any government that is willing to assist in recovery will find full co-operation on the part of the United States. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist." <em>[I provided more context for the quote you had shown, to see more of his intent in the remarks.]</em>
The view in the communist-controlled Eastern bloc was that the US was trying to use such a policy to spread its influence and threaten their patterns of government under communism. So the plan ended up building allies for the US in Western Europe, while the Eastern European countries sided with the Soviet Union. So it was an example of Cold War tactics of competition between the US and the USSR, apart from the use of military force.
