Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under Jefferson's administration, there was a general trend towards reducing federal power and eliminating excise taxes, which were policies associated with the Federalist Party. Jefferson's Democratic-Republican administration focused on states' rights and agricultural interests. While there were no significant advancements in rights for women and slaves during this period, the question implies a loss of gains made under the Federalists, which aligns with the broader rollback of Federalist policies. However, it's important to note that the Federalist era itself did not significantly advance the rights of women or slaves in a way that could be substantially rolled back. The choice reflects a general sentiment rather than specific legislative actions against women and slaves.
