Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson wanted to put a stop to the paying of bribes to protect American trade ships.

Thomas Jefferson did not think very highly of King George III. He has been quoted as calling King George a villain.

He was born in 1743 at Shatwell -- his parents plantation in Virginia. About 1770, he purchased the land where he eventually built his beloved home Monitcello. He lived there until he died in 1826.

When Thomas Jefferson included a passage attacking slavery in his draft of the Declaration of Independence it initiated the most intense debate among the delegates gathered at Philadelphia in the spring and early summer of 1776. Jefferson's passage on slavery was the most important section removed from the final document. It was replaced with a more ambiguous passage about King George's incitement of "domestic insurrections among us."

France.

But it gave up French Louisiana after the end of the Seven Years' War in Europe (1754-1763). Under the treaty terms, France ceded the western half of Louisiana to Spain in 1763, and the eastern half to Great Britain. France regained Louisiana secretly in 1800 and sold it to the US in 1803.

Most Christians believe they are stewards of God's creation and so should care for it responsibly. Within that, you would find a broad spread of opinions as to how this should be achieved and to what measures should be employed. Christianity does not have one set viewpoint on the issue.

The election of 1800, where Alexander Hamilton intervened (after 35 ballots of delegates) in the election, but on Jefferson's behalf. He intervened again in the race for New York governor, and Aaron Burr came in last place. Burr believed him, after those events, to be the sole detriment to the advancement of his career.

The Legislative branch checking the Executive branch:

The George W. Bush administration attempted to reform the ailing social security system by pushing for a plan to give younger workers the option to choose how to invest their social security money and the Congress stopped it.

The Executive branch checking the Legislative branch:

Congress attempted to insert a widespread federal health care system into the renewal of the SCHIP legislation and the President used a his Veto power to stop it.

From what I have read he grew a little of every thing. He was considered an expert in plants and wrote several books on the plants of VA.

With regard to the French revolution Thomas Jefferson predicted: "this ball of liberty, I believe most piously, is now so well in motion that it will roll round the globe, at least the enlightened part of it, for light & liberty go together. It is our glory that we first put it into motion."

About 5 million people were counted by the 1800 Census (August 4, 1800).

It showed the estimated population of the US as 5,308,483 people, of which 893,602 were slaves.

Thomas Jefferson was president from 1801 to 1809. He wrote the Declaration of Independence while he was a member of Viginia's delegation to Congress 1775-1776. Because he was in Europe, Jefferson took no part in writting the US Constitution.

I've tea

His Declaration of independance effected us today because if he didnt write that then we wouldn't have our freedom or our rights

In 1794, James Madison was a US Congressman and the capital was in Philadelphia when Dolley lived. He became in interested in her and asked her friend Aaron Burr, who was a frequent guest at the boarding house managed by Mary Payne, to introduce her.

in his inaugural speech, Jefferson said the purpose of government is 5 fold:

The government should...

1. Acknowledge and adore God,

2. Exercise frugality,

3. Restrain the infliction of injury (i.e. keep people safe, keep criminals away,)

4. Encourage entrepreneurship and free enterprise, and

5. Protect property, earnings of citizens.

Not quite.

Not God, but Providence. Jefferson was a Diest. He believed in the God of Nature; the Creator. Not Yahweh. Not Christ.

Not an endorsement of one God, but of religions that inculcate "honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man".

And he specifically said "labor". Not money earned any other way.

"Kindly separated by nature and a wide ocean from the exterminating havoc of one quarter of the globe; too high-minded to endure the degradations of the others; possessing a chosen country, with room enough for our descendants to the thousandth and thousandth generation; entertaining a due sense of our equal right to the use of our own faculties, to the acquisitions of our own industry, to honor and confidence from our fellow-citizens, resulting not from birth, but from our actions and their sense of them; enlightened by a benign religion, professed, indeed, and practiced in various forms, yet all of them inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man; acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by all its dispensations proves that it delights in the happiness of man here and his greater happiness hereafter--with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people? Still one thing more, fellow-citizens--a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities."

Against. It was unfair to the southern farmers, who transported grain as whiskey.

It is true that Jefferson made no attempt to release his slaves. However, there are countless recorded incidents where "masters" did free their slaves but the slaves refused to leave, or left and then came back to the plantations where they previously resided. Why was that? It's obvious, they had no where else to go. If Jefferson freed his slaves they would have had nowhere to go and would have probably starved. That would have been much more inhuman than actually keeping them and having them work for him.

Now I move onto your second point. Yes, it is true Jefferson did express his fears about slavery. Individuals, such as yourself, who are uneducated on this subject believe that the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 is basically the only act that may show that Jefferson might have opposed slavery . However, if you did any type of actual research, besides what you learned in high school, you would know that this is not true. Jefferson did truly oppose slavery. If you had done any research and gained any knowledge on this subject you would have learned that Congress removed a quarter of Jefferson's original draft in the Declaration of Independence that denounced the horrors of the slave trade and explained how evil it was.

He was member of the Virginia House of Burgesses, the Virginia Chamber of Deputies and a delegate to the Continental Congress. He also was governor of Virginia during the revolutionary war.

He didn't! First of all, electricity was discovered, not invented. The Greeks first discovered electricity by realizing that rubbing amber on fur caused an attraction between the two - think static electricity.

William Gilbert coined the term 'electric' from a similar Greek word.

Most people commonly believe Ben Franklin was the 'father' of electricity, but he wasn't. His observations did lead to the invention of the lightning rod, however. A good first step.

In 1800, physicist Alessandro Volta constructed the voltaic pile, later known as the electric battery. It was Volta, not Franklin, who discovered that certain chemical reactions could produce electricity.

It wasn't until 1831 that electricity became viable for use in technology. English scientist Michael Faraday created the electric dynamo, a precursor of modern power generators. This invention opened the door to the new era of electricity. A few decades later, Joseph Swan invented the light bulb.

It wasn't a speech but the Declaration of Independence.

Yes, because he thought they were unnecessary for people. ~bb.(;
