Read the following quote from Thomas Jefferson:

"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned—this is the sum of good government."

Which of the following Democratic-Republican ideas does this best statement support?

The creation of a national bank is unconstitutional.
The institution of slavery should be protected.
A powerful central government threatens individual liberties.
The national government should only pay for improvements that benefit the nation.

I think the answer is the 3rd option

ok i think ive figured out..

the ones who have blue person next to name are all legit however the ones who dont aren't fully trustable but can still be trusted in most cases

I think there are two correct answers here: the one you have chosen and another that refers directly to this -- "shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned"

But you need to choose whichever one your text emphasizes.

I agree. The third option reflects Jefferson's point of view.

The quote from Thomas Jefferson expresses an idea that aligns with the Democratic-Republican belief that a powerful central government threatens individual liberties. Jefferson argues for a wise and frugal government that allows individuals to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement. He emphasizes the importance of not taking away the bread that labor has earned, suggesting that the government should not interfere with the fruits of people's hard work. This sentiment reflects the Democratic-Republican principle of limited government and a focus on individual freedom.
