4. The Democratic Republicans believed they would lead to a reduction in farming.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: 3. The Democratic Republicans felt they gave power only to a wealthy few in the North.

The Democratic-Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson, favored agrarianism and believed that a society based primarily on farming would be more beneficial than one based on manufacturing and trade, which they viewed as concentrating economic power in the hands of the wealthy elite, particularly in the Northern states.
