Jefferson idealized the independent yeoman farmer as example of republican virtues, distrusted cities and financiers, and favored states rights and a limited federal government. He was the author of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom (1779, 1786). Jeffersons revolutionary view on individual religious freedom and protection from government authority have generated much interest with modern scholars.[12] He was the eponym of Jeffersonian democracy and the co-founder and leader of the (Jeffersonian) Republican Party ( which has no affiliation with the modern day Republican party), which dominated American politics for 25 years.
