| − | The '''Democratic-Republican Party''' was one of the first two American political parties. Formed out of the remenants of the "Antifederalists" who opposed the [[United States Constitution]] but favored the [[Bill of Rights]], they opposed strong central government. Notable Democratic-Republicans included [[Thomas Jefferson]] and [[James Monroe]]. They may also be referred to as Jeffersonian Democrats, Jeffersonian Republicans, or Jeffersonian Democratic-Republicans, as this distinguishes them from the modern [[Democratic Party]] and [[Republican Party]]. They are considered the forerunners to the modern Democratic party.
