Why did Jefferson and his Democratic Republican party oppose policies that favored manufacturing and trade?(1 point)

The correct response is:

The Democratic Republicans felt they gave power only to a wealthy few in the North.

The Democratic-Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson, generally favored an agrarian-based economy and were suspicious of the political influence of industrialists and merchants in the North. They believed that policies favoring manufacturing and trade would concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a small elite, undermining the values of an equitable society based on farming and agriculture.
