Which statement describes an important political belief of the modern Republican Party?

I'm not sure what options you're being given (if any), so I'll just give you the best I can think of. An important political belief of the Republican Party is that people in general can work for their own success and don't need government assistance. They believe in smaller government and that the people can govern themselves. They believe other things as well but in my opinion that's one of the party's central political beliefs. I hope this helps!

The U.S. economy performs best under as few government regulations as possible.
