To determine which answer choice is correct, let's break down each option and analyze it in relation to the formation of the Democratic Republican Party.
Option A: "Washington's cabinet members wanted to form a new party to strengthen the federal government."
This option is not correct because it does not accurately represent the main reason for the formation of the Democratic Republican Party. In fact, Washington's cabinet members, particularly Alexander Hamilton, played a significant role in the formation of the opposing Federalist Party, rather than the Democratic Republican Party.
Option B: "Thomas Jefferson's views clashed with those of Alexander Hamilton."
This option is indeed one of the key reasons for the formation of the Democratic Republican Party. Thomas Jefferson, who served as Secretary of State under President Washington, had differing political opinions and philosophies compared to Alexander Hamilton, who was Secretary of the Treasury. Their conflicting viewpoints and disagreements on issues like the role of the federal government and economic policies paved the way for the formation of the Democratic Republican Party.
Option C: "The alien and sedition acts outlined the need for a new political party."
This option is not accurate as the Alien and Sedition Acts did not directly contribute to the formation of the Democratic Republican Party. These acts, which were passed during the presidency of John Adams, were controversial measures aimed at limiting the rights of immigrants and curbing political opposition. While they did spark opposition and criticism, they did not directly lead to the formation of a new party.
Option D: "The threat of war with Britain inspired a revolt against the federalists."
This option is not accurate either. While the threat of war with Britain, particularly during the War of 1812, did contribute to political shifts and realignments, it does not specifically explain the formation of the Democratic Republican Party. The Democratic Republican Party had already been formed prior to the War of 1812.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: "Thomas Jefferson's views clashed with those of Alexander Hamilton."
