Thomas Jefferson was opposed to federalism, which controlled the federal government and called for national banks and tariffs. Jefferson also disagreed with the idea of implied powers which gave ambiguity to what the government was allowed to do with its power. In response to this, Jefferson created the Democratic-Republican Party.
