-The '''Jeffersonian Republicans''' was a U.S. political party led by [[Thomas Jefferson]]. It was based on the Anti-Administration Party, a congressional faction in 1789 to 1792 led by [[James Madison]]. The party opposed strong central government.  When [[Andrew Jackson]] ran for president in 1824, the party split into Jacksonian and Anti-Jackson factions. The modern [[Democratic Party]] traces its origins to the Jacksonian faction.

-When it existed, the party was known as the '''Republicans.'''  The creation of the modern [[Republican Party]] in 1854 created a need to distinguish the two parties. For this reason, the anachronistic name '''Democratic Republican Party''' is sometimes applied to this organization.
