re: "Who was the first President to embody republican principles of small government?"

Okay, I'm not looking it up - so I'm probably wrong.

The only President who greatly reduced the size of government and paid off debt was Andrew JACKSON.

So that's my guess, though Jackson was long before the Republican party.

If we're limiting the list to Republican Presidents then my guess is TAFT.
