How did thomas jefferson simplify the federal government

President Thomas Jefferson simplified the United States Federal government by delegating administration and legislation to the individual states. It was his belief that the Federal government should be a little more than a navy and a post office.

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson believed in a small Federal Government with the states maintaining their autonomy, which they did until after the Civil War. However, Jefferson went against his own ideals growing the Federal Government and going beyond the authority of the President in both the Louisiana Purchase and the First Barbary War.
