Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson believed that the US should remain basically an agrarian nation with little manufacturing. We would trade with European nations for the industrial products we needed. He believed in States' Rights and that the purpose of the federal government was not to involve itself in the daily lives of the citizens, but to defend us from invasion and to insure the protection of the rights of the citizens from any kind of domestic turmoil. Alexander Hamilton favored a strong national government, one that took an active role in the daily affairs of the nation. He foresaw an industrial future for the US and created his Financial Plan with that in mind. He believed the national government should be supreme over state governments.

Jefferson believed strongly in agrarianism the economic policy that America should receive a substantial portion of it's income from agriculture. Jefferson also advocated Americans make their own clothes "homespun" from hemp they grew, in fact when he was governor of Virgina he required all farmers to devote 5% of their crop lands to growing hemp. This is an excellent example of Jefferson's wishes for America to be a strong independent andself sufficient nation, not dependent on Europe for necessities, which he felt would open us up to economic subjugation. He also imposed The Embargo Act specifically aimed at England and France in order to wage a sort of economic war, since they were at war and were largely dependent on new world imports. This act stated that ships would not be allowed to stop at any ports except those expressly authorized by the president at that time Jefferson. Jefferson was an amazingly brilliant man, and a strong an independent president, who advocated that Americans should be self-sufficient.

The "British" didn't approve the Declaration and they weren't asked. The colonies got the Declaration on July 4, 1776 when it was published. It was approved by Congress.

Britain formerly recognised the independence of the Thirteen Colonies on 9 April 1784 with the ratification of the Treaty of Paris. In the Treaty, Britain acknowledged that the Thirteen Colonies were free, sovereign and independent States, and that the British Crown and all heirs and successors relinquish claims to the Government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same, and every part thereof.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence and its final wording was largely his. Specifically he is responsible for the eloquent and then-revolutionary concepts stated in the second paragraph: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are the Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness",

For starters, It doubled the size of the United States at the time, and it provided more land. He was already about to send out Lewis and Clark on their expedition, and this was a benefit, because they now owned the land. Also, It gave them the land Napolean and other French might use and had planned on using to attack the US.

Hope this helps.

John Marshall had a loose interpretation of the Constitution while Thomas Jefferson supposedly had a strict interpretation of it. John Marshall strongly believed in the elastic clause (the necessary and proper clause) which meant: "The Congress shall have Power - To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof". So he thought that if a law was needed, then it could be added and adjusted into the Constitution and one didn't have to stick to the exact words of the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson supposedly had a strict construction of the Constitution, but his actions such as the Louisiana Purchase and the Embargo Act showed loose interpretations because neither one of those were written in the Constitution. He very rarely showed a strict interpretation where he stuck directly to the Constitution, so they really weren't that different in views even though in titles they were.

Because they both had different ideas as to how the United States should develop. Jefferson wanted the US to remain basically an agrarian nation, buying our manufactured goods from Great Britain and other European nations. Hamilton wanted the US to become a leading manufacturing nation with commerce and industry as the main characteristics. Jefferson believed more in representative government than did Hamilton. Hamilton did not trust the citizens to be informed well enough to vote. He had wanted the US to become a sort of constitutional monarchy, with a President chosen, not elected. Jefferson favored the French at the start of the French Revolution while Hamilton looked to Great Britain to become the closest ally to the US. Alexander was angry that Thomas cheated on him with a squirrel.

Who are fought With Thomas jefferson in the american war?

The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These come from John Locke's natural rights to life, liberty, and property. Property was changed to the pursuit of happiness by the author, Thomas Jefferson.

john Locke was political philosopher and a proponent of natural law, and limited government. These two ideas that greatly influenced the Founding Fathers. Locke's ideas are reflected in both the Declaration of Independence, and the US Constitution.

Alexander Hamilton was born on January 11th 1775 on the island of Nevis in the Virgin Islands

Alexander Hamilton is one of the two people who are not president to have their face on American currency

Alexander Hamilton is on the 10$ bill

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.

After consulting with Dr. Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia, a leading physician of the day, one of the chief medicines were purgative or cleansing tablets known as Dr. Rush's patented pills or "Thunderclappers." The Voyage of Discovery took along 600 of these tablets. Stephen Ambrose wrote in his book "Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson and the Opening of the West" that "Dr. Rush thought these pills would cure any number of ills." They were made with calomel (six parts mercury to one part chlorine) and jalap (think jalapeno pepper, used as a purgative).

The medical supplies, bought in St. Louis, totaled $90.69.

They included: lancets, forceps, tourniquets, clysters (enema) syringes, gonorrhea syringes, Peruvian bark (quinine), calomel, jalap, laudanum/opium, Glauber salts (sodium sulfide, a mild laxative), niter (potassium nitrate/saltpeter, a diuretic), tartar emetic (produces vomiting) and mercurial ointment (mercury/fat to soothe irritations).

The list suggests gastro-intestinal complaints were common and expected. The poor flow of bile was believed to cause many infirmities, including constipation and headaches. Dr. Rush's tablets were anti-bilous tablets.

In addition to pains from the hard labor, the explorers suffered wounds from gunshot, snakebite, scalded feet, dysentery, and other injuries and ailments. Besides internal treatment, they used saltpeter for wounds, using bark to make a poultice. Dr. Rush's advice was often prevantative in scope, advising to wash their feet with cold water, to purge the body, to wear flannel next to the skin and other theories. While the medicines and techniques may sound primitive by today's standards (not to mention ignorant about concerns of mercury poisoning), only one man died on the journey.

FDR admired Thomas Jefferson's ability to remember and consider the common people during his presidency. During FDR's own presidency, he concerned himself with the average citizen and spoke of them as the "forgotten man." He admired Alexander Hamilton's ability to uphold a strong federal government.

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.
