How did Jefferson's political philosophy shape his administration's policies?

Domestic Policies: As a republican, Jefferson favored local government over a strong federal or central government. As he once wrote, "that government is best which governs least", meaning that the less impact and influence the government has over a person, the better. As a gentleman farmer, he favored (southern) agrarian interests over those of the mercantile class of the north-eastern states. As President, his Louisiana Purchase seems to go against his ideals, but he later realized that the growning United States was benefitted tremendously from the expansion. Foreign Policies: His foreign policy can best be described as 'friendly isolationism'. He was against getting into foreign entanglements and treaties, instead espousing a 'don't get involved in other states affairs' way of life.
