Notes: "An elaboration of the author's introduction to the second reissue of his book" (1987, see above). Argues that judicial interpretations of the amendments to the Constitution has more to do with the history of the public administration of the United States than does the Constitution itself. Claims that "the predominance of adjudicative power as it has evolved in America is not conducive to a governance that can anticipate and plan for the future." Hence, "a more serious and comprehensive examination" of the founders' ideas about public administration and their very different legacies can uncover for us "the generally warping effect" of the courts "upon the character of public administration." Describes Hamilton's central concern for effective and responsible government, TJ's for defense of individual liberties, and laments the apparent lack of interest many Americans today seem to have in them.

Notes: Argues that public education and liberal republican democracy were inseparably connected in the minds of Madison and TJ, who saw the former as necessary (but not in itself sufficient) for the latter. Looking also at the experience of classical Athens, the author claims that TJ and Madison were right in seeing this nexus as crucial to the success of the republic. Hence, conservatives who trace their political tradition to these two men should pause before pressing the case for a decreased federal role in public education.

Notes: Grapes of Wrath echoes TJ's political and economic philosophies, but the outcome of the novel reflects a 20th-century dilemma: political and economic strength of the individual have decreased the emphasis on land ownership. TJ's agrarian ideal effectively ended with the closing of the frontier. Steinbeck substitutes for the agrarian ideal of farmers on their own land a vision of “one big soul,” a socialistic or communalist ideal.

Notes: TJ's pursuit of humane conduct of warring armies toward civilians and toward prisoners of war had three phases: 1. During the Revolution, as Governor of Virginia he relied on appeals to reason and threats of retaliation whether dealing with the Convention prisoners taken at Saratoga or negotiating for better treatment for Virginians captured by the British. 2. After 1783 he pursued diplomatic efforts to protect rights of non-combatants, following Franklin's lead) through bilateral treaties. 3. In view of the state practices of the Napoleonic wars, he again considered the utility of retaliation in the context of a perceived decline in international morality. However, even then he retained a hope for the use of restraint and moral suasion.

Notes: Analyzes TJ's reading and use of L'Esprit des Lois . He devoted more space in his commonplace book to Montesquieu than to any other political philosopher, but he seems to have read for practical use to support his work on formulating American governmental structures. He focused on discussions about voting, popular sovereignty, and confederate republicanism; his silence on Montesquieu's discussion of virtue and education in Books III and IV may reveal some ideological differences, as might also his ignoring Montesquieu's linking of republicanism and frugality in Book V. Montesquieu placed more stress on authority and obedience than TJ did, and he showed more respect for classical authors. Claims TJ was more conscious of breaking from the past and that by looking at the record of his reading, we can see that Montesquieu was an influence that helped him focus and clarify his emerging thoughts on republicanism.

Date: (1983)
Extent: pp.302.; 2553-A.

Notes: Examines the composition of the Seventh through the Tenth Congresses in order to consider the relationship between President and Congress on specific foreign policy issues. Contends that TJ's changing relationship with Congress helps explain the foreign policy successes of his first term and the failures of his second. In TJ's first term Congress was relatively docile, disciplined, and cooperative, and he was able to turn even the Federalist opposition to use in acquiring Western territory. Congress also gave him extensive authority to deal with the Barbary Pirates. In the Ninth Congress, however, the relationship began to break down relative to foreign affairs as a consequence of the revolt led by John Randolph and the Federalist opposition headed by Timothy Pickering. In the first session of the Tenth Congress TJ dominated Congress completely, but his support collapsed in the second session with the apparent failure of the embargo policy. He all but abdicated his authority during the last four months in office and left the Congress and nation virtually leaderless.

Notes: Argues that historians who echo Federalist denunciations of TJ's handling of the war with Tripoli are mistaken. TJ on the issue of war with the Barbary pirates acted with energy and force, and the treaty with Tripoli was favorable to the U. S., providing a satisfactory conclusion to the four-year war. he accomplished far more with the Barbary powers than had his predecessors, and while the treaty did not mark a complete end to problems in this area, it was an important step in bringing about a resolution.

Notes: Sees TJ's administration as a “testing phase” of separation of power practices that had emerged in the last decade. Examines the relationship between Congress and the executive branch in order to see how consistent TJ was with his previously espoused views about the separation of powers. Considers the symbolism and practical implications of the design for the new federal city and TJ's first annual message to Congress, as well as situations that tested the separation of power such as the war with the Barbary states, the Louisiana Purchase, and issues over appropriations. Concludes that TJ's administration took separation of power concerns seriously, even if it occasionally relied on subsequent congressional ratification of unilateral actions.

Notes: Discusses TJ's letter-writing practices, with particular attention to his system of recording and indexing them in his Summary Journal of Letters. He began keeping the journal On November 11, 1783, and he recorded there the letters he received and sent. He summarized the letters he sent out, until he acquired a copy press in 1785 and began to rely on that for his record copy. By far the busiest years, in terms of both letters received and letters sent were during the time of his presidency, and the number sent and received fell off in his later years. The evidence of the Summary Journal of Letters seems to belie his claim to John Adams that he wrote 1287 letters in 1820; it was more like 400.

Notes: Compares the felony law reform efforts of Benjamin Rush, William Bradford, and TJ in his draft statutes. Both Bradford and TJ regarded felony law as constituent, and while it is common to remark TJ's debt to Beccaria, he may have been more strongly influenced by William Eden's Principles of Law . TJ's reform proposal failed because it became entangled with political questions, but the Pennsylvanians appear to have dealt with felony law reform at a level above politics and were thus more successful.

His concern to find a practical rule of conduct and social morality made him an object of admiration for later French thinkers such as Cabanis, Volney, Thierry, and Comte.

Suggests TJ was particularly taken by the floor plan of the rez-de-chaussée of the "ruined column" which used oval rooms to fill out a round structure. TJ proposed similar plans for renovations at the Hôtel de Langeac, the first Washington Capitol, and the Rotunda. He may also have been influenced by the variety of architectural and landscape embellishments of the estate. In French.

Notes: Surveys TJ's interests in science, noting particularly his interest in mathematics and in the physical sciences. Contends that the Declaration is a Newtonian document because the phrase “the laws of nature” supposedly points to Newton's laws of motion, and the idea of self-evident truth occurs in mathematics and in various scientific texts as meaning something like “axiom. ” Calling the Declaration “Newtonian” on this basis may seem a bit forced to many readers, but the author's discussion of the scientific discourse about the idea of “self-evident” truths is suggestive and insightful.
