The Great Gatsby By F. Scott Fitzgerald

It is evident that before his inauguration, he probably would have objected to the majority of his presidential actions. Still, he had always been a national patriot, encouraging the colony and later nation’s separation from Britain. Borden demonstrates that everything he did reflected his conviction that the new, democratic nation was a “unique experiment…destined for greatness” (Borden 41). Advocating a home education rather than a European one, the president hoped to instill American ideals and traits into future generations. For this reason, Jefferson came to prefer political precision over philosophical theories.

Thomas Jefferson contemplated the issue of whether we, as a nation, should inherent government contracts, whether in the form of constitutions or statutes. He concluded that we should not, and in a letter sent to James Madison, Jefferson proposed a termination of the Constitution every 19 years. He thoroughly believed in the idea that The Constitution, and laws that are written by one generation, should expire with the end of that generation. While although he makes a good argument by emphasizing the need for governmental institutions to keep up with the pace of development of human reason and understanding I, however, find Jefferson’s formulation of the idea to be impractical, due to several observations.

Thomas Jefferson’s ideas of equality and a government that is ran for and by the people were established in the United States’ Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights. Specifically, he proposed a doctrine of natural rights rather than divine rights. To elaborate, Jefferson worded it as such, in the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. Additionally, Jefferson campaigned to have the Bill of Rights added during the Constitutional Debate. However, because the way he lived his life and personal decisions he made, the question of if Thomas Jefferson believed in the principles detailed in the Declaration of Independence has long been a topic of discussion. Jefferson was known a genius level writer who also possessed the ability to speak many languages. His elaborate yet concise writing style was only outshined by the lavish preference to luxury goods Jefferson endured throughout his life. Jefferson’s morals are a common topic of debate in American literature. I examined many articles containing details of Jefferson’s propensity to live life against the principles he assigned to the nation he helped found. Jefferson traded and owned slaves throughout the span of his lifetime. Contrarily, Jefferson was an advocate for equality as well. Additionally, Jefferson was a constant

In Jefferson’s inauguration, he was seeking to reach out to his political rivals, the common people and government officials, in attempt to mend the infringement between Federalists and Republicans. For many years, the federalists and republicans have been fighting for power in the central government and how the power must be divided. As a republican, Jefferson strongly believed in following the constitution. The main intention of the speech was to end disagreements between both parties, as well as to inform his people about the government. He also believed that everyone should unite

As Benjamin Franklin left the Pennsylvania State House after the final meeting of the Constitutional Convention, he was approached by a woman. The woman asked, “What type of government will be enforced?” Franklin replied, “A republic, madam. If you can keep it.” The ratification of the Constitution in 1789 left a huge mark on the U.S. Government. The changes made in the Constitution are still very influential over today’s U.S. Government.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

51, James Madison continues to say, “In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.” He thought that the framework for political liberty could only remain if the people of the nation follow what is written in the Constitution. The success of a nation truly depends on the people’s willingness to follow. The people have to follow the ruling of the government, and the government has to rule with the good-interest of the people in mind --avoiding corruption. Americans should constantly strive to follow our written laws, to maintain our freedom, and to further our rights as citizens.

A good teacher represents his teaching by being a good example to others and by following his own guidelines. Likewise, politicians should also practice what they preach for the good of the society. A famous quote from The Declaration of Independence written by the politician, vice-president and after all, the third president of America, Thomas Jefferson reads “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence paved way for the freedom of America from the British and has been entitled as the most important document in the history of America.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” (Jefferson, 1776, para.2). More than 230 years ago, this familiar line of Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence became the basic tenet of the foundation of
