Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that "all men are created equal". He was arguing that kings and lords were not born with any divine right to rule over other people, but it seems inconsistent that he would have the right to rule over his slaves just because he paid money for them or their ancestors.

Apparently he was not thinking of slaves as being men, but rather as some inferior sub-class that were designed to serve men.

The three accomplishments that Thomas Jefferson wanted listed on his gravestone were author of the Declaration of Independence, author of the statute of Virginia, and father of the University of Virginia. Thomas Jefferson made this clear in his will.

He didn't because he believed in strict construction of he constitution, which led him to believe that anything that is not written clearly in the constitution should not be done. Thus he opposed the creation of the bank because the constitution did not specifically grant power to Congress to create one.

Alexander Hamilton favor the bank, because he believed in lose construction of the Constitution, and according to the "Elastic clause", the congress can do whatever that is for the good of the people. Thus Hamilton was for the creation of the national bank.

Jefferson had a vision of what the country ought to be. He believed in limited government, wanted a nation of land holding farmers and believed that people could govern themselves. On March 4, 1801 Jefferson became the first president to be inaugurated in Washington DC. His goal was not coexist peacefully with the federalist but to bring them into the Republican party. He hoped that the parties would disappear and some the things he didn't do were as important as the things he did. He didn't like the national bank, but didn't get rid of it. He appointed Republican judges and refused to renew the Alien/Sedition Acts, but did pass new naturalization laws. Jefferson pardoned prisoners and gave back the fines to those who were convicted under the Sedition act. He reduced the military to 2500 officers/men and did away with taxes on US made goods including whiskey. One of his primary beliefs that liberty depended on land ownership for all. Yet he also recognized the necessity of commerce and as president he was committed to its protection. Jefferson reduced the ceremonial role of the presidency that had developed under Washington and Adams. He started by walking to his inauguration and dressed as a ordinary citizen. Instead of going to Congress to deliver the annual address he sent a written message to be read by a clerk. He eliminated formal presidential receptions and received foreign diplomats informally.

Thomas Jefferson's wife was named "Martha Wayles Skelton". He married her when she was 22 years old; she had already had one child by a former husband; that child and the husband died; she and Thomas Jefferson had six additional children; she died with the birth of the seventh child. She was 33 years old.

thomas Jefferson did write the declaration of independence that is why when running for president most people voted for him they thought he could respect our country's freedoms. he did not write the constitution James Madison wrote that.

You could say that purchasing the Louisiana territory was outside the powers of the president granted in the constitution, but really he was one of the greatest presidents, unless you ask a federalist.

Yes becuase when the federal transformer smashed the watch. The American turtle killed him

Behind every good man there is a woman, and that woman was Martha Washington, man, and everyday George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him, man, when he come in the door, man, she was a hip, hip, hip lady, man.

Enlightenment philosopher and political scientist, Thomas Hobbes, influenced all of western political thought, including the United States. He argued that man is a selfish animal whose sole priority is to seek the maximum of all finite resources for himself, by any means necessary. The only way to stop man from the use of force and brutality to fulfill his needs at the expense of others, is a strong government that will take away some of man's personal power and rights in exchange for fully protecting the remaining powers.

Jefferson appointed Meriweather Lewis and William Clark the leaders of the Corps of Discovery. This expedition was created to explore the newly acquired western half of North America, and involved following the rivers to the Pacific Ocean.

I trust you mean after the purchase. He commissioned Lewis and Clark to explore the new territory and report on the geographical features, the plants and animals and natives found there. Even the size of territory was largely unknown when it was purchased.

This is a very very common US commemorative stamp. Billions were printed.

If you want to buy just one it will probably cost you from 10 to 25 cents at a stamp store for a used one.

Unused, about twice face.

If you want to order it by mail, you would have to pay postage and handling in addition.

Dealers get them as part of larger lots for almost nothing per stamp- say 65% face if mint and

1/20 cent if used.

It is the kind of stamp I use on letters if unused or give to kids if used.
