Thomas Jefferson's job in Washington's cabinet was as Secretary of State. He was reluctant to take this position at first; however, it was hard to refuse an offer made by Geroge Washington who insisted. Some of Thomas Jefferson's view points were: 1) He was against Hamilton's financial program to asstablish a National Bank. Jefferson thought that this was unwise and unconstitutional. 2) Jefferson was "pro-French" and wanted nothing to do with Britian. (He was also an advocate for the French Revolution.) 3) He believed in a strict interpretation of the Constitution.
