What are some contradictions did Thomas Jefferson do?
Because he said that slavery was wrong when he owned 300 slaves
Not only the fact that he did own slaves...he was considered a strict constitutionalist, meaning that if he didn't see it in the Constitution it meant NO! In the constitution, it had never stated about aquiring land. He wanted to buy LA from Napolean, not only to increase the size of the US, but to gain control nof the Mississippi river. Due to this, he had made an amendment to the Constitution, and made a "treaty" with Napolean stateing he could aquire the territory of LA. The LA purchase was one way that Jeferson was a hypocrite.

What is truths to be self evident?
A self-evident truth is one for which one does not need confirmation by mutual assent, eg. that one is a man or a woman, that one is alive, that one's eyes are a certain hue, that one thinks, breathes, eats and prefers freedom to slavery.
Euclid used self-evident truths in his book, the "Elements", to base his system of geometry, logic and proportion upon, in part. Looking down from an airplane, one can see just how Euclidean our patterns of culture still are in our geometric farms and cityscapes. Look around you at all the squares and rectangles and triangles, cones and so forth -- Euclid's "Elements" is the 2nd highest bestseller of all time, right after the Bible. It was well-known to our country's founding fathers, Lincoln used it to hone his reasoning skills as a lawyer, and one should study it thoroughly if one has not done so already. That and Calculus are the major building blocks of modern culture -- all the rest is disposable decor and the trappings of advertsing.
In mathematics, certain things follow from the laws and rules of algebra, eg.
if I propose that
a+b = a*b = c, then
a+b-b = a*b -b
a = b(a-1)
a/(a-1) = b and b has been isolated and DEFINED in terms of a and 1.
Because both addition and multiplication (the two operators of the hypothesis) are subject to the Law of Commutation, and because I could have subtracted a instead of b first, we now know also that
b/(b-1) = a and a has been isolated and DEFINED in terms of b and 1.
Let b=10. Then
10/(10-1) = 10/9 = a
Does
a + b = a* b = c?
10/9 + 10 = 10/9 * 10 = c?
10/9 +90/9 = 100/9 is TRUE = c√.
And I have just NEUTRALIZED the operators of Addition and Multiplication against one another, logically, and arrived at a new set of numbers in which a and b can equal any related or co-defined numbers but 1 (or zero would result in the denominator, which is undefined).
The TRUTH of my method and CONCLUSION is self-evident to me, and with practice and/or study, may be so to you as well.
What ideas did Thomas Jefferson copy from John Locke?
Well alot, almost to the point of plagarism. But for one point, Thomas Jeffersons famous phrase, Life , Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness was altered from the phrase John Licke used earlier on, Life, liberty, and property
