Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson was among the first political figures (along with James Madison) to form the Republican-Democratic party. This took place in the late 1790s. Jefferson believed in strictly obeying the Consititution and that the Government shouldn't have implied powers under it. He was a strong supporter of power to the people and believed that the citizens should have maximum power in government and not wealthy educated men. As Secretary of State at the time, Thomas Jefferson often found himself in a feud with the Secretary of Treasury, Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton often believed that the wealthy should control government and he was the founder of the Federalist party. Unfortunately for Jefferson, Washington, who was the president at the time, usually agreed with Hamilton's policies. Outraged, Jefferson resigned from his position, shortly followed by Hamilton himself. But when Jefferson came back a few years later as Vice President, he kept working toward a government controlled by the citizens.

He displayed smarts and a very good people person and he was very brave because he fought in world war 2!

He lived in Virginia (USA) for most of his life. His house was in Charlottesville, called the Monticello.

1234

the states retained the majority of political power.

Thomas Jefferson was sworn into office as President of the United States on March 4, 1801. He was in office until March 4, 1809.

Thousands. He left France with 2,000 and there were more added in his life.

He refused to pay the Bribes and blockaded the port of Tripoli.

Jefferson believed the country was far too big to be controlled under one federal government. He also did not want to create a government that would form at the expense of the states' rights. Jefferson favored a weaker, decentralized government with most of the power residing in the states.

Monticello was Jefferson's pride and is the place where he did much of his work. It's considered to be a national icon so it's appropriate that it appear on the reverse of the coin bearing his portrait.

In addition to his political and philosophical writings he outfitted Monticello with things he invented such as special chairs and a unique dumbwaiter.

No, George Washington was the 1st US president.

Meriwether Lewis was paid $40 a month, because of his higher rank and William Clark received $30 per month. There is a listing for pay for enlisted men ($5 a month), and sergeants ($8) a month. Drouillard, the hunter and interpreter, made $25 a month.

Jefferson had just won a hard-fought election after losing to Adams the first time. Adams created these positions and tried to fill them with Federalists on the last day he was in office. Jefferson thought there were already enought Federalist judges in the country.

Dear Shariq,

After a long time I received a letter from you. I was pleased to know that you have done well in your examination. I have also fared well in all the papers and hope to get good marks.

You are very curious to know about the ambition of my life. As you know that I have been fascinated to the profession of medicine. It is a noble profession. A doctor is considered next to God. He is a source of great hope and strength to the patient. Hence, I want to become a doctor to serve the society. In fact, it had been the dream of my mother.

In India, a large number of people die every year due to lack of proper medical treatment. Particularly in rural India, medical aid is rare. I would like to go to rural areas where the services of a doctor are most required.

I am very serious for the preparation of medical entrance examination- I am working hard to qualify for the entrance examination. I am interested to know what you want to do in life.

Convey my regards to your parents.

Yours sincerely,

Satyam kumar

the ideals that america stands for are worth protecting is correct

I can not find any record that he had an accent, other than the Virginia accent that one would expect. He never traveled outside the United States.

Thomas Jefferson left the office of Vice President to take the office of President. So he was more stepping up than stepping down.

No, like many of the Apollo astronauts he was a fighter pilot during the Korean War and flew 78 combat missions.

He did tour the U.S. bases in Vietnam after his return from the moon mission. Many people were impressed by his "down to earth"ness (no pun intended).

he believed that the purchase was unconstitutional

he made it easier
