To accurately respond to your question, I'd need to know the content of the passage referenced. However, based on general historical themes of the early 1800s in the United States, here's an analysis of the options provided:

  1. Supporting the French in the French Revolutionary Wars: This reflects internationalist tendencies and could suggest a continuity of revolutionary ideas, particularly in the context of Republicanism.

  2. A constitutional amendment banning political parties: This would imply a shift away from the political divisions emerging at the time, which contradicts the emergence and strength of party politics.

  3. The rise of a foreign policy of non-involvement: This aligns with the principles of isolationism that would come to characterize U.S. policy but may or may not relate directly to the ideas in the passage without further context.

  4. The creation of the Alien and Sedition Acts: This represents a curtailing of freedoms and a reaction against perceived threats (both foreign and domestic) and could be seen as a contradiction to earlier revolutionary ideals.

If you could provide the passage or the ideas expressed therein, I would be able to give a more informed answer on which development best represents the continuation of those ideas.
