Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson is remembered for many achievements in his public life. He had served as governor of Virginia, as U.S. minister to France, as secretary of state under George Washington, as vice-president in the administration of John Adams, and as president of the United States from 1801 to 1809. On his tombstone, however, which he designed and for which he wrote the inscription, there is no mention of these offices. Rather, it reads that Thomas Jefferson was "author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia" and, as he requested, "not a word more." Historians might want to add other accomplishments--for example, his distinction as an architect, naturalist, and linguist--but in the main they would concur with his own assessment

He was viewed as a tyrant because the colonists and patriouts thought he was using his power unjustly. So it is like an opion.

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

Thomas Jefferson had not yet been elected as President or as any other type of colonial official when he wrote the Declaration of Independence. He was a delegate to the Second Continental Congress, but he was appointed to that position, not elected.

Alexander Hamilton was a founder of the Federalist Party; Thomas Jefferson was founder of the Democratic-Republican Party. The Federalists wanted a strong central government and encouraged the states to ratify the Constitution. The Democratic-Republicans believed the states should retain sovereignty.

No he did not but he did write the draft to the Declaration of Independence

Jefferson reasoned that it was better to own the land than have foreign nations in our backyard. He originally wanted the city of New Orleans but Napoleon needed the money and felt that the land was too hard for France to defend. New Orleans was an important city because people moved cotton by boat down the Mississippi River.

In 1802, President Jefferson sent James Monroe to France to negotiate the purchase of New Orleans. The negotiations also included the US minister to France, Robert Livingston. Napoleon unexpectedly offered to sell all of the French territorial claims in the Mississippi Valley, and the agreement became the Louisiana Purchase.

wote~ is the wrong way to spell wrote very close just forgot an "R". I believe that he wrote the deceleration so there could be freedom.

In the begininng it belonged to France, or to be more specific Napolean. Then the American's bought it, a.k.a the American colonists, and then a few years later the borders were determined and the land was given to America. Also! when the Louisiana purchase was made, it made the American territory almost double in size, and from then on the American colonists were able to prosper and get R!CH.. mostly from trade.

It depends on your geographical area. There are tons of channel four transmitters in this country. They're just spaced far enough apart that they don't interfere with each other. Top range is usually 60 miles or less. this is aload of rubbish

His father died when he was 14 years old (1757). His wife died when he was 39 years old and only 2 of his 6 kids lived to see adulthood.

he did not like the king and did not respect him. like all true patriots, he was against the king.

The 3rd President of the United States was Thomas Jefferson from March 4, 1801 to March 4, 1809. His Vice Presidents were Aaron Burr (1801-1805) and George Clinton (1805-1809)

Because he had to collect money to finance the war against Great Britain.

Furthermore this sell would avoid the Louisiana territory from being seized by

the British.

Hamilton wanted a strong central government, but Jefferson believed that it was the right of the people to rule their economy.

Thomas Jefferson thought the national government should have a limited role, and that power should remain primarily with the states. Jefferson was the 3rd U.S. President.

Small Farmers, cause Alexander Hamilton's policy supported big business owners :P

From the French side, it was justified without question. Napoleon, First Consul of France, sold the territory to the United States because France needed the funds to continue its wars in Europe. The funds arrived, so the transaction went as planned. From the US side, there was some debate as to whether the President had the right to purchase land, as such a possibility was not explicitly mentioned in the US Constitution. Strict Constructionists, among which US President Jefferson had consistently counted himself, held that if a specific occurrence is not envisioned by the US Constitution, it could not be enacted. Conversely, Loose Constructionists held that some terms in the Constitution could be reinterpreted to fit unforeseen scenarios as long as the intent was preserved. Jefferson controversially chose to use a loose constructionist reading of the provision allowing him to make treaties with foreign powers in order to buy the Louisiana Purchase.

He helped end the war, or at least made the Declaration of Independence telling Britain that the colonists wanted to be free of British rule.

The Declaration of Independence didn't END the Revolutionary War. It STARTED it.

its easier to ask what they didnt disagree about (;

but they isagreed about the national bank mostly. Jeffeson declaredit unconstitutional, buyt Washington went for it. Jefferson was a Democratic- Republican and Hamilton was a Federalist, so they did not see eye to eye on most things.
