thomas jefferson was very interesting.
This website is beautifully done, and very insigtful.
I found it a very fascinating quote from an extremely complicated person. As a strict constitutionalist who believed in a weak central power and executive branch. While president he made decisions outside the constitution, the Louisiana Purchase, the Barbary War sending ships over then having Congress act.
