Question 629 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

Why did Jefferson adopt Neoclassicism as the official style of government architecture?

Answer

He felt that the U.S. should free itself from British art influence and instead look to Republican Rome for artistic inspiration.

After taking a trip to Rome and Greece following the U.S. independence from Britain, he wanted to recreate the same style.

He wanted to create a “new look” in the United States.

It was part of a peace alliance deal between the U.S. and Italy and Greece.

Explanation

Jefferson favored Neoclassical architecture because its forms recalled the civic ideals and republican government of ancient Rome. Choosing that style also helped the United States establish an artistic identity distinct from British influence. Choice A best expresses this; Jefferson did not travel to Rome and Greece after independence, and there was no architectural alliance deal with Italy and Greece.
