Question

which action of jefferson showed limited government?
a. starting new programs
b. increasing army size
c. reducing taxes
d. buying the louisiana territory

Explanation:

Jefferson was a proponent of limited government. Reducing taxes (Option C) aligns with his philosophy of minimizing government intervention and keeping government spending and reach limited, as opposed to starting new programs (expanding government), increasing army size (expanding military, a government function), or the Louisiana Territory purchase (a major government action expanding territory and power, though Jefferson did this, but reducing taxes is more directly about limiting government's fiscal reach).

Answer:

C. Reducing taxes
