Who was the first US Secretary of State?
Thomas Jefferson was the first US Secretary of State, appointed September 29, 1789. U.S. Diplomatic History > 1784-1800 Thomas Jefferson: First Secretary of State, 1790-1793On September 29, 1789, President Washington appointed Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, then Minister to France, to be the first Secretary of State under the new Constitution. The author of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson was one of the leading statesmen of his day, the most famous American political philosopher, and had five years experience as American Minister in Paris, the epicenter of Europe's diplomacy. Jefferson returned to the United States and assumed his duties on March 22, 1790. At that time the United States had only two diplomatic posts and ten consular posts. Jefferson drew the distinction between the politically oriented diplomatic service and commercially directed consular service, and he initiated the practice of requiring periodic reports from American diplomats and consuls abroad. During his three years as Secretary of State both services grew only marginally. The Department of State itself was equally small, consisting in 1790 of a chief clerk, three other clerks, and a messenger. The title "clerk" refers to an officer charged with composition of messages to overseas posts and other correspondence. The total domestic and foreign expenditures of Jefferson's Department in 1791 was only $56,600. Although his sympathies belonged to France, Secretary of State Jefferson favored the policy of neutrality in European conflicts. Although he failed to resolve any of the outstanding issues facing American foreign policy - protection of American territorial integrity from Great Britain and Spain, the right to navigate the Mississippi River, or treaties of commerce with Madrid and London - he did lay the groundwork for eventual resolution of these problems.

Was Jefferson and the US justified in purchasing Louisiana?
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.

What Impact did Jefferson believe this economic change would have on the idyllic agrarian lifestyle?
So for Jefferson and other agrarian-minded Southerners, farming was the only virtuous occupation for men, and the only occupation that truly allowed men to be free. Crafts, industry, and the trades made men dependent on bosses, customers, and suppliers, and created in men greedy, self-serving personalities. Further, for Jefferson, rural living was healthy; city life corrupting. For him, farming and the countryside were necessary preconditions for the growth of democracy. Of cities and government he wrote: "The mobs of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body."7 In short, greedy, dependent, ambitious men were not the stuff from which democracies were made. The Republic would only thrive if the nation were an agrarian nation of farmers.
