Answer 2

Sorry about that.I mean were the Jeffersonian-Republicans views and beliefs considered better than the Federalists Party views to Americans in the 1800s?

Answer 3

They were obviously considered better by some Americans -- just as Republican beliefs are considered better by some Americans today.

The Jeffersonian Republicans began using the name Democratic-Republicans in 1796.
