Describe how president jefferson responded to privacy in the mediterranean

I believe you mean "piracy" in the Mediterranean, not "privacy." 

President Thomas Jefferson responded by sending US navy ships to contend with the Barbary states of North Africa that were carrying on the piracy. 

Thomas Jefferson was wary of having a large military establishment, not wanting a class of military officers to become a sort of aristocracy in the country. So he had cut back on the size of US military forces, including major reductions to the navy. When Pasha Yusuf Qaramanli, the ruler of Tripoli, was insisting that the American government pay for safe sailing of merchant ships through Mediterranean waters off the coast of Tripoli, President Jefferson deployed his small navy to the area. The US ships coordinated their efforts with naval ships from other countries facing similar problems, such as Sweden, Sicily and Portugal. American naval vessels patroled the waters in the Mediterranean from 1801 to 1803. In 1803, the frigate USS Philadelphia ran aground and the pasha's men captured the ship and its crew, demanding a ransom from the United States. Other US forces managed to raid Tripoli harbor and burn the Philadelphia so it could not be held for ransom. President Jefferson did agree to pay for the return of the Philadelphia's crew, in exchange for a commitment from the pasha to stop interfering with American ships in the Mediterranean.

He sent warships to the Mediterranean to protect American shipping.

Explanation:

President Thomas Jefferson inherited a delicate situation in the Mediterranean, as pirates continued seizing US merchant ships and requiring a ransom for them. Not long before Jefferson's inauguration, the Turkish ruler of Tripoli released members of two lately captured American ships on the condition that the U.S. raise its payment under threat of a declaration of war on the United States.

Jefferson sent a naval campaign to the Mediterranean, resulting in the First Barbary War (1801-1805).
