Jeffersonianism

Are you a Jeffersonian in political belief?

I am a Jeffersonian.

What is Jeffersonianism? It is a political opinion, a belief, a philosophy. Unlike that of the Democrat or the republican; it is neither conservative nor is it liberal, it is libertarian and it is constitutional. unlike the Federalism of the Democrat or Republican party it is anti-federalist.

To compare Jeffersonian views to that of the Democrat and Republican Party to give one a clearer picture of their distinctions, I shall illustrate:

JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN (CONSERVATIVE) DEMOCRAT (LIBERAL)
Individual Autonomy Strong Central Government Strong Central Government
States Rights Strong Central Government Strong Central Government
no central banking Central banking central banking
no individual income tax taxation of working class taxation of corporations
Individual Autonomy Government programs Socialized Gov. Programs
Right to bare arms limited right to bare no individual right to carry
constitutional rights rights only as permitted rights only as permitted
Administrative Government intrusive federal government Majority rule Fed. Gov.
sovereign states Federal States Federal States
Individual Responsibility Laws to prohibit Social Services

The list goes on. it is notable to state that the two federal parties advocate a federally controlled economy. Where as a Jeffersonian it is controlled by the people in a free market system. No Centralized banking yet a gold standard is a highlight of a Jeffersonian society. No taxation on individual income. Taxation being necessary,but not on individual income.

Jeffersonianism is against standing armies during peace time, federalism calls for large military presents both abroad and stateside. Jersonianism would have no foreign bases.

Jeffersonianism advocates foreign relations as non-interventionism but more on open trade, and diplomatic affairs. Another nations war is not ours. We shall not take sides. However, trading and providing arms with are allies is necessary to maintain strong alliances.

National Government over Federal Government works best. the individual freedom is assured only when the National Government never infringes upon the individual. The people should govern the Government.

The States being autonomous yet in alliance with neighboring states, by and through a union comprised of those states in a Nation Government. Most effective in a Unitarian system with a administrative federalism governed by a constitution in effect the by-laws of that administrative body. Hence, states rights. In addition, the protection of individual right is need to keep both the states and the national government from violating those individual liberties. Rights listed in the bill of rights, the amendments to the constitution,are guaranteed by such and are not dedicated to any governing body to regulate or control nor legislate. Therefore, right such as the 2nd amendment the right to own and carry a gun are protected by the constitution and the General Assembly of the United States nor the president nor the Supreme Court nor the states Governor, courts or general assembly, nor the county or municipal governments have the right nor the power to regulate, control, legislate or anyway infringe upon that right to carry or own a firearm. So any law legislated at any level of Government that controls, regulates, or legislates the right to bare arms is unconstitutional.
