1 answer

Thomas Jefferson primarily advocated for the participation of yeoman farmers in American democracy. He envisioned an agrarian society where independent farmers would be the backbone of the nation and believed that they were the most virtuous and responsible citizens. Jefferson's perspective on participation in democracy was limited regarding women, African Americans, and, to some extent, merchants and traders. Therefore, the most accurate response is yeoman farmers.
