The '''Democratic-Republican Party''', alsoknown referred toretroactively as the '''Democratic-Republican Party''' (also referred to by historians oras the '''Jeffersonian Republican Party''',){{efn-la|name=internalNameLink|Party members generally referred to it as the Republican Party; although the word ''Republican'' is not to be confused with the modern [[History of the Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party funded in 1850s]]. To distinguish this party from the current Republican Party, political scientists usually use the term "Democratic-Republican".}}, was an [[Political parties in the United States|American political party]] founded by [[Thomas Jefferson]] and [[James Madison]] in the early 1790s. It championed [[Liberalism in the United States|liberalism]], [[Republicanism in the United States|republicanism]], individual liberty, equal rights, decentralization, free markets, free trade, and [[agrarianism]]. In foreign policy it was hostile to Great Britain and in sympathy with the [[French Revolution]]. The party became increasingly dominant after the [[1800 United States elections|1800 elections]] as the opposing [[Federalist Party]] collapsed.
 
Increasing dominance over American politics led to increasing factional splits within the party. [[Old Republicans]], led by [[John Taylor of Caroline]] and [[John Randolph of Roanoke]], believed that the administrations of Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe—and the Congresses led by [[Henry Clay]]—had in some ways betrayed the republican "[[Principles of '98]]" by expanding the size and scope of the national government. The Republicans splintered during the [[1824 United States presidential election|1824 presidential election]]. Those calling for a return to the older founding principles of the party were often referred to as "Democratic Republicans" (later [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrats]]) while those embracing the newer nationalist principles of "[[American System (economic plan)|The American System]]" were often referred to as [[National Republicans]] (later [[Whig Party (United States)|Whigs]]).<ref name="pop style">{{Cite web |url=https://nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/populism-american-style |title=Populism, American Style |last=Olsen |first=Henry |date=Summer 2010 |access-date=30 May 2021 |publisher=National Affairs |quote="Amid the passion and the anger, Jefferson and Madison's Republican Party — the forerunner of today's Democrats — won the day; the coalition they built then proceeded to win every national election until 1824... The elections of 1828 and 1832 saw the ruling Republicans break into two factions: The minority faction — headed by incumbent president John Quincy Adams — became the National Republicans (and then the Whigs); it drew its support from the mercantile regions of the country, mainly New England and the large cities of the South. Members of the majority faction, meanwhile, renamed themselves the Democrats under the leadership of Andrew Jackson."}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/03/15/what-is-happening-to-the-republicans |title=What is Happening to the Republicans? |last=Cobb |first=Jelani |date=8 March 2021 |access-date=27 January 2022 |magazine=[[The New Yorker]] |quote=In the uproar that ensued, the Party split, with each side laying claim to a portion of its name: the smaller faction, led by Adams, became the short-lived National Republicans; the larger, led by Jackson, became the Democratic Party.}}</ref>
