You mean besides founding the country and writing the Constitution?
Weird, the closest you Klowns can CLAIM is PERHAPS the Articles of CONfederation, you know that "states rights" thing, whereas the CONSTITUTION IS THE BIG FEDERAL GOV'T THING!
The guys who gave US the STRONG PROTECTIONIST POLICY OVER Adam Smith's "free hand" were libertarians?
The guys who mandated OWNING a firearm were libertarians? The guys who mandated health insurance and gave US socialized medicine were libertarians?
"The power of all corporations ought to be limited,"
wrote James Madison, the framer whose influence echoes most resoundingly in the Constitution, as "the growing wealth acquired by them never fails to be a source of abuses."
"I hope we shall... crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations," TJefferson
That was all democrats.

'Though the "Solid South" had been a longtime Democratic Party stronghold due to the Democratic Party's defense of slavery prior to the American Civil War and segregation for a century thereafter, many white Southern Democrats stopped supporting the party following the civil rights plank of the Democratic campaign in 1948 (triggering the Dixiecrats), the African-American Civil Rights Movement, the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, and desegregation.'
Southern strategy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By comparison, take the 1960 and 1964 elections, for example. In 1960 between JFK and Nixon? Nixon's the bigot with 'The Southern Strategy' playing to the Jim Crow of States Rights, and he was VP since 1952.
1964, Goldwater (the furthest right the GOP had known to date) vs the guy that drove the Civil Rights Act?? The night it passed, LBJ, 'in a mood described by White House aide Bill Moyers as melancholy, Johnson predicted that we just delivered the South to the Republican Party for a long time to come."'
Reagan continued Nixon's Southern Strategy. His '1980 endorsement of "states' rights" at the Neshoba County Fair in Mississippi, close to the site of the ruthless 1964 murder of three civil rights workers,' reinforcing his support of John C Calhoun's 1828 States Rights - as the fed govt progresses socially, "we'll maintain our slavery and segregation as we see fit here locally, within our state boundaries. Back off."
The migration of racists predominantly going from Dem to GOP started in 1948 and completed in 1965.
What Reagan meant by "states' rights."
