What is Thomas Jefferson's view on jay's treaty?

Answer 1

He thought it could be much stronger for the Americans but George Washington asked him to use his publishing talents to defend it which he did. Hamilton felt that we were still weak as a nation at the time and wanted to keep decent relations with Britain since they were our biggest trading partner. Most of the Jay Treaty was helpful, but not as aggressive as some had wished. The treaty did get approved by Congress and showed that the important objectives were met.

Answer 2

He belived that John Jay in Jay's Treaty was exemplifying a stronger central government by trying to make peace with Britain. By pushing foward to lessen the problems of the US they were systematically buying time to take peoples minds off of the home territory problems and focus on Britain. Thomas believed that because of these actions that Jay's treaty was against the people and for more centralized single rulers which in his mind would result in the downfall of democracy. If you read his writings Jeffersons views can be seen very clearly with the right mind but if you are pro-Hamilton for example you will see clearly in his views. So in the end Jeffersons view on Jay's Treaty is that it was going to lead to the downfall of state's rights, etc.

Answer 3
