Thomas Jefferson

He compromised that he would move the capital to the south.

He completed the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 which was in his first term and certainly had an important long term effect . He also opposed the Alien and Sedition Act and set the stage for greater civil liberty.

Under President George Washington the actions and policies of the government generally resulted in protests by the people. This led to the forming of the first Ten Amendments to the United States Constitution that gave more individual rights to the people.

At the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 168 delegates from Virginia met to either reject or ratify the US Constitution. At the end of the convention, the delegates agreed to ratify the Constitution.

Yes, he did have some nicknames like "Father of the Declaration of Independence", but that was given to him much later.

Benjamin Franklin called him "Red" and Hamilton referred to him as the "Red Fox", due to their intense rivalry.

John Adams (the president before Jefferson) made what is known as the "midnight appointments." On his last day in office, Adams appointed several federal judges who would further his Federalist views.

Thomas Jefferson greatly opposed these federalist views. Since the appointed judges held lifetime tenures, Jefferson was unable to dismiss them or shape the judiciary in the way he wanted.

Thomas Jefferson's mother, Jane Randolph Jefferson, passed away on March 31, 1776 in Massachusetts, United States.

Thomas Jefferson was co-founder and leader of the Democratic-Republican party. The party supported a strict interpretation of the Constitution, neutral relations with European powers, and stronger state governments. Its main opposition was the Federalist Party.

He had a dumbwaiter installed in his house in VA. I am guessing that is where he invented it.

In his own words about political power and the common people, Thomas Jefferson said, "I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education."
