"Madison, a committed nationalist, had performed skillfully. Many doubters at the ratifying conventions had called for amendments that would change the government detailed in the Constitution.

These figures help explain the growing power base of the Democratic Republican Party of Thomas Jefferson, who supported the idea of an agrarian republic.  It is also a paradox, as the textbook noted, that this rural development brought about the market economy and industrial revolution in the United States, which led to the rapid growth of cities in this period.
