Thomas Jefferson

Both from virgina both married both slave owners and both were elected President. Washington however freed his slaves in his will and provided money and housing and education for those who were either to old or to young to leave.

It's a trick or magic coin an has little or no value.

"The claim that Thomas Jefferson fathered children with Sally Hemings, a slave at Monticello, entered the public arena during Jefferson's first term as president, and it has remained a subject of discussion and disagreement for nearly two centuries."

There is a lot of debate both from DNA evidence and historical records as to whether he really fathered Sally's children, but no definitive answers.

This is taken from the website below which is the official website of Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello. For more information, refer to the site below.

he served from 1801-1809

According to a letter that John Adams wrote to his friend Timothy Pickering, Adams gave Jefferson three reasons that Jefferson should write the Declaration of Independence instead of Adams. The three reasons, in Adams own words were: "Reason first, you are a Virginian, and a Virginian ought to appear at the head of this business. Reason second, I am obnoxious, suspected, and unpopular. You are very much otherwise. Reason third, you can write ten times better than I can."

If there's something wrong in government, those who have the ability to take action to correct it need to do so in order to protect their own rights along with the rights of future generations.

Russia! People could you please put the right answers from now on!!!!!!

Lewis and Clark

Virtually every delegate signed on August 2, 1776. Only John Hancock signed it on July 4, 1776. James Madison did NOT sign the Declaration of Independence, however he was a signer of the Constitution.

Thomas Jefferson lived in France when he was the minister to France (1785-1789)

The "wall" between church and state is one of the most misunderstood principles arising out of the First Amendment and a correspondence between Thomas Jefferson and the Danbury (Connecticut) Baptists Association. A letter from the Danbury Baptists was concerned with the idea that most local governments were still of the impression that expression of religion was still a privilege granted by local authority, not an "inalienable right" as seems guaranteed by the First Amendment. Jefferson's response was meant to reassure the Danbury Baptists that it was not the place of government to "establish" any church as a national religion, as had historically been the practice throughout Europe, nor to attempt to control any expression of religious belief. The "wall" thus referred to the state being disallowed to restrict those privileges in any way. However, in the ensuing years the phrase "separation of church and state" has been misconstrued as meaning that no public display of religious belief is or ought to be condoned. Nothing could be further from the truth, but this is the debate that still rages today. This is, of course, an oversimplification of the issue, but there are many excellent web sites that discuss the constitutional issues of freedom of religion.

Yes six Martha Jefferson Randolph (1772-1836), Jane Randolph (1774-1775), a stillborn or unknown son (1777), Mary Wayles (1778-1804), Lucy Elizabeth (1780-1781), and Elizabeth (1782-1785)

"Freeborn white men" were the class that Jefferson would have referred to, since the concept of slavery was still viable in Europe in the 18th century. Later leaders, including Abraham Lincoln, questioned how human rights would not apply equally to slaves.

When Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated, he vetoed traditions and formal ceremonies of bowing, and instead he insisted on a casual inauguration. This showed that he wanted change in America, and that he wanted to begin new traditions, and get rid of formal ceremonies.

I hope I helped!! :)

he wrote the declaration of independence

The us purchased the louisiana territory from Napoleon Bonaparte. It cost about 15 million dollars.

Yes, he did. Kind of surprising don't you think? Because the war was pretty intense.

He was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, a Founding Father, and is widely considered to have been one of our best presidents.

Some people who played a role in Thomas Jefferson's life were George Wythe, Martha Wayles Skelton, Peter Jefferson, and his mother. There are others, but these are a few.

Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States from March 4, 1801 to March 4, 1809. The 4th President of the United States was James Madison from March 4, 1809 to March 4, 1817

gave the nation stability as early Presidents

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, AND John Quincy Adams.

Yes, the purchase of the Louisiana Territory was Constitutional because there is nothing stated in the Constitution about purchasing anything. This putting it in the implied powers (powers that are not stated in the constitution) spot.

It was not constitutional, Thomas Jefferson bought it himself without the legislative or judicial branch even knowing about it. Thomas Jefferson was a strange man
