The correct response is:

The Democratic Republicans believed that the bank would benefit manufacturers at the expense of small farmers.

Answer 9

I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. The correct answer is:

claim that states had the right to determine the constitutionality of a law.

This was a significant reaction against the federal government’s perceived overreach and contributed to the political tensions of the time. Thank you for your patience.

Answer 11

The action that does not reflect Jefferson's belief in the need to reduce the power of the government is:

the purchase of the Louisiana Territory.

While Thomas Jefferson aimed to limit the federal government's power and reduce spending, the Louisiana Purchase significantly increased the size of the federal government and represented a notable expansion of executive power, as it was not explicitly authorized by the Constitution.
