Notes: Study of the Declaration as an expression of the American mind and as the work not simply of a single author, TJ, but of a committee and of Congress as a whole. The contents and language of the Declaration are part of a tradition that included both the Declaration of Rights of 1689 and the Virginia Declaration of Rights of 1776. The Declaration of Independence began to assume its significance for the national imagination as we usually understand it in the years after 1789, and its interpretation is part of a continuing discussion and debate about its meaning and implications. A major book on the Declaration, and on TJ's role in it, although one might argue that the author underestimates the significance of the latter.

Title: Religion and Politics: The Intentions of the Authors of the First Amendment.
Publisher: American Enterprise Institute,
Place of Publication: Washington, D.C.:

Notes: Contends that debates in the First Congress and also the positions of Madison and TJ suggest that Congress did not mean the establishment clause of the First Amendment to require strict neutrality between religion and irreligion, nor did the founders understand the free exercise of religion clause as recognizing anyone's right to claim an exemption to a valid, civil law. The discussion of TJ's position on religious freedom is somewhat unhistorical and also implies that Locke was the only important influence on his ideas in this regard. The discussion of TJ and Madison does not seem adequately to support the conclusion that the framers, unlike the recent Supreme Court, would have permitted non-discriminatory assistance to religion.

Publication: Stanford Environmental Law Journal
Volume: 12

Extent: 3-49.

Notes: Main body of the essay reviews the conservation provisions of the 1985 and 1990 farm bills. A preceding brief consideration of TJ as farmer and his efforts toward responsible land use sets up a conclusion that asks what TJ would have thought of today's government-sponsored soil conservation programs. Claims that he would have supported traditional cost-sharing and voluntary assistance programs but would reject programs that intrude upon land-use decisions made by the individual property owner. Most of TJ's agrarian ideals no longer have much presence except for a continuing respect in American society for the farmer as the friend of nature. But as agriculture has distanced itself from the land with corporate, absentee, non-organic management, it has itself lost TJ's vision.

Notes: The first volume of the best biography of TJ; covers until 1784. Malone goes into great detail on TJ's life, but has a tendency to engage in what might seem special pleading in regard to some of TJ's more questionable actions. This tendency is more noticeable in the later volumes (but not the final one), and since Malone scrupulously presents all the facts, a reader is not obliged to accept his judgments blindly.

Title: "The Foreclosure of Democracy in America."
Publication: History of Political Thought
Volume: 9
Date: (Spring, 1988)
Extent: 137-60.

Notes: Toward the end of trying to show that the US Constitution, "which was by no means a historical inevitability, became an instrument for a version of democracy which at the same time foreclosed the necessary conditions for far more democratic forms," contends that TJ's role in promoting the shift in the denotation of "democracy" has not been well understood. Claims he was "decisive in promoting a critical, and ideologically useful, confusion" between understanding the new government as a democracy rather than as the balanced republic of John Adams, but that because at his accession to the presidency nothing changed regarding the Constitutional arrangement, his later recognition of the people's loss of control over the organs of their government came too late. Thoughtful critique of the roots of "the alienated politics of the modern state," although perhaps too abstractly considered.

Title: "American Liberalism and the Democratic Dream: Transcending the American Dream."
Publication: Policy Studies Review
Volume: 10
Date: (1990)
Extent: 89-102.

Notes: Describes three "dreams." 1. the democratic dream that respects the will of the majority but depends more or less on social and economic equality of citizens. 2. The elitist dream of rule by a superior few over an inferior multitude. 3. The American dream, which is a copmpromise, elitist in economic affairs ("equal opportunity to become unequal") but promises legal and political equality. Neither conservatism nor liberalism in either of its major modes can advance democracy in American life because each is too closely tied to laissez faire capitalism. TJ's "radical democratic dream," however, reminds us that democracy is impossible without a large measure of social and economic equality. Contends that TJ was not a supporter of capitalism but of independent production, by farmers and, later on, by manufacturers as well. Discusses his awareness of anti-democratic forces that threatened progressive democracy as well as his notion of ward republics.

Notes: In the context of a larger argument about the shared qualities of Scottish and American literature resulting from self-conscious differences from the English "center" and from their own philosophical traditions, this chapter discusses the distanced, impartial stance of the objective observer implied by the moral sense theorists as the background to the Declaration's divided discourse of sympathy and separation. Analyzes TJ's language against the background of Hume, Adam Smith, and Reid, without suggesting (like Garry Wills?) that he was merely rewriting Scottish texts. Suggestive for discussion of TJ's relation to common sense philosophy and to skepticism.

Notes: A biography of TJ through his inauguration in 1801. Despite the claim of the subtitle and a certain amount of flailing about at the work of unnamed "historians," no startling new interpretation is offered, although attention paid to TJ's private life and cultural interests fills out the more conventional biographical portrayal of the public and political man. Readable but seriously flawed by minor errors of fact, Virginia chauvinism ("The Virginia plantocracy of the eighteenth century was one of the most responsible oligarchies in the history of western civilization."), and authorial hobby horses.

Volume: 305
Date: (1992)
Extent: 1382-85.

Notes: Claims that TJ shifted rhetorical strategies during his lifetime, moving from a “rhetorical pragmatics” based on typology to one based on ideology. The style of the Declaration follows from the deductive syllogism and the rhetoric of typology in which specific instances offer logical support for a belief. The rhetoric of typology is related to the argumentation of the Aristotleian syllogism and enthymeme, and he learned it from William Duncan's 1748 Elements of Logick . But TJ came to believe that an articulated idea clarifes experience, which leads to emotions. Responsive emotions demonstrate the validity of ideas as articulated perceptions, demonstrate valid beliefs which affect a reader or audience and fashion a “community of belief.” TJ shifted to the new rhetoric because it was well suited to the new democracy emerging in the United States.

Notes: Contends that the statute lies behind the First Amendment and has thus indirectly acquired national legal status. Critiques of Supreme Court decisions affirming TJ's wall of separation are variously concerned to break the connection between the Statute and the First Amendment, to argue that TJ was inconsistent or not serious about church-state separation, to criticize his understanding of religion, and to attack his defence of toleration as a type of secular humanist religion itself. Good review of some contemporary maneuvers to reinstate government support or condoning of certain religious practices; suggests that they have gained some ground in part because of unexamined assumptions in TJ's own notions about religion.

Notes: Claims that TJ's adaptation to French culture and pleasures was aided by the “friendship, sponsorship, and tutelage provided him by an assortment of highly placed women of the capitol. ” Credit's his own adaptivity and notes different American and European conventions governing socializing between men and women. (Unmarried French women were more restricted than their American sisters, but the married women were relatively much less so.) Notes the salons he frequented, those of the Duchesse d'Enville, Mme. Helvetius, Mme. de Houdetot, Mme. Necker, and the Comtesse de Tessè, and his friendship with the la Rochfoucaulds. At his arrival in Paris, conversation in the salons was more oriented to art and science than politics, but around 1786 this changed, not necessarily to his liking. Suggests that the French ladies' enthusiasm for Washington and for the new constitution may have affected his own opinions.

Extent: 4570-A.

Notes: Contends that, partly in response to his awareness of the economic and political inequality of Europe, TJ argues for the right of every individual not to be denied access to the means of labor. Because he conceives of man as dynamic, evolving being who is naturally both social and moral, he consciously attempts to construct a political system, eg. his ward republics, that will allow for maximum citizen participation. TJ is qualitatively different from Madison and presents the outlines for a democratic-socialistic alternative to the present market ideology. Published in revised version as The Radical Politics of Thomas Jefferson (1984), for which see below.

Title: The Radical Politics of Thomas Jefferson: A Revisionist View.
Publisher: University Press of Kansas,
Place of Publication: Lawrence:
Date: (1984)
Extent: ix, 171.

Notes: Contends that TJ has been more misrepresented or misunderstood than any other founding father. Both conflict historians such as Beard and consensus historians such as Hartz see him as the prophet of a liberal future, based in Locke and exemplified by a triumphant capitalism. On the other hand ideological historians such as Bailyn and Pocock by emphasizing the influence of the whig, republican tradition portray a TJ defined by a nostalgic desire for an Edenic past. The picture of TJ is further clouded by a tendency among many writers to confuse Jefferson and "Jeffersonian" idea systems, and Matthews particularly emphasizes the need to disengage TJ from Madison, who stands ideologically closer to Hamilton in his view. Looks at TJ's notions of property, human nature, and personal ends in order to argue for a figure whose humanism, communitarian anarchism, and radical democracy "stand as an alternative to the market liberalism of the past and present." Uses insights from Hannah Arendt and C. B. Macpherson in order to contend that TJ "not only presents a radical critique of American market society but also provides an image for ... a consciously made, legitimately democratic future." Somewhat overstates the case for TJ's radicalism, but nonetheless a thoughtful monograph and a useful corrective to the tendency to try to normalize TJ as a genial liberal.

Extent: pp. 234-72.

Notes: Argues that beyond their personal friendship and political alliance, TJ and Madison were “worlds apart” from an ideological perspective. Contrasts Madisonian liberalism as a theoretical complement to Jeffersonian democracy. Madison distrusted individuals and sought to erect a rational legal structure to restrain their worst impulses; TJ believed reason should be secondary to the moral sense, and that “all people” must be allowed to participate in politics. Analysis of TJ's political thought reveals “what America might have become - and may yet achieve. ” Interesting argument, but see James Oakes's review essay (1995) responding to it.

Does not reduce the issue to a matter of foreign policy as only or even primarily an ideological concern as some other studies do (e.g. Tucker and Hendrickson), and while recognizing TJ's “phobia” about race, does not reduce them to it either. A thorough, balanced discussion that gives some sense of the choices that would have seemed possible to TJ during his presidency.

Notes: Describing three manifestations of the Enlightenment, Moderate, Skeptical, and Revolutionary, claims TJ was influenced by the first and third but not at all by the second. Perhaps for this reason, finds TJ's admiration of the skeptic Bolingbroke as odd. Surveys TJ's interests in philosophy, political theory, religion and science as they reflect enlightenment influences; informative, but would gain from offering a theory of the enlightenment that was more than taxonomic.

Notes: Analyzes TJ's constitutional thinking in terms of "Whig," and "republican" categories; these in turn correspond to his beliefs that constitutions were useful primarily to limit government power, that government power should be divided into distinct spheres and branches, and that ultimately government was accountable to the majority will of the people.

Title: The Constitutional Thought of Thomas Jefferson .

Place of Publication: Charlottesville
Date: (1994)
Extent: pp. xiv, 397.

Notes: Thorough, albeit a bit repetitive, discussion of TJ's ideas about constitutions, constititution making, and constitutional government. Attentive to the historic context of TJ's statements of constitutional thought and thus able to give a coherent account of his changing emphases at different moments in his life. At the same time, the author argues for a number of continuing, unifying principles that are constantly at work in TJ's thinking no matter what the specific situation, particularly his belief in a government that was both federal and republican. Describes TJ's thinking as shaped by the traditions of the Real Whigs, noting the slightly different implications of the whig historians and of the whig political theorists. TJ came to understand federal government as one in which a national government oversaw relations with foreign governments and the states attended to internal government within their own boundaries. Defends TJ against accusations that he understood the national polity as simply a collection of states. Even more important for TJ, the author suggests, was his belief in republican government defined as one that recognizes that power resides in the people and has continuing recourse to them for approval of its actions. The best book-length study to date on this topic.

Title: "'By the Chains of the Constitution': Separation of Powers Theory and Jefferson's Conception of the Presidency"
Publication: Perspectives on Political Science
Volume: 26
Date: (1997)
Extent: 140-48.

Notes: TJ took the doctrine of the separation of powers than any other president, except perhaps George Washington. The presidency was less powerful in his era than in more recent terms: he, like most other 19^th -century presidents, rarely used the veto, and he did it in cases where he thought laws were unconstitutional rather than merely laws he disagreed with. The legislative branch played a much stronger role in foreign policy than present day Congress does, and TJ as president respected Congress's exclusive power to declare war. In two areas he did theorize a more powerful presidency, however: he believed that each of the three branches had an independent power to determine the constitutionality of legislation, and he argued that in exceptional circumstances the president could justifiably act beyond the written constitution, notably if it were to preserve the nation.

Notes: Concludes that TJ's and Condorcet's educational plans were the most comprehensive and democratic proposals written during the American and French Revolutions, but other proposals were followed because these were too "radical" in implication and events worked against implementation. Contents of the two plans were influenced by their common origins in eighteenth-century Atlantic civilization and the democratic revolutions. TJ and Condorcet for the first time envisioned universal civic education as a necessary and possible practical goal for the new republics.

Notes: Compares and contrasts ideas on education as embodied in Condorcet's Memoires of 1791 and the Rapport of 1792 and TJ's 1779 Bill for the More General Diffusion of Knowledge and the School Bill of 1817 . Discusses their shared concerns for liberty and equality, their belief that education should be a liberating force, and that it should be free of political control. Their plans differed in so far as they reflected the different cultural, social, political, and economic differences of their societies. TJ's plans for a decentralized, local Virginia did not have to contend with the counter-revolutionary, anti-egalitarian threat Condorcet faced, but in both France and Virginia conservative forces resisted the radical purpose of their plans and perverted them into instruments of elite (and later middle-class) control over the lower classes.

Notes: Authoritative account of the collaboration between TJ and Clérisseau. Suggests that while TJ supplied the basic idea for the temple form and for copying a specific classical building (yhe Maison Carrée), Clérisseau's architectural expertise influenced both the design as a whole and specific details. Reduction of the portico depth, treatment of the windows, the inset plaques, and the change of the capitals from the Corinthian to the easier to carve Ionic represent Clérisseau's contributions.

Notes: Demonstrates that neither TJ nor Congress placed the so-called Ordinance of 1784 in the category of what it termed ordinances, legislation in areas where it was specifically empowered by the Articles of Confederation, called such, and recorded in a Register of Ordinances maintained by Charles Thomson. TJ's and the Congress's reluctance to term the report of his committee as an “ordinance” points to uncertainty within the Congress about how to define its powers.

Notes: Thoughtful, critical account which takes into consideration recent attempts to describe TJ as a friend to American manufactures and a proto-capitalist. Describes his attitudes changing in response to historical and economic situations, but notes that he was never willing to support much in the way of industry beyond household manufactures. Emphasizes his support for free trade between nations and notes his consequent willingness, bolstered by his notions of republican virtue, to limit severely American commerce when this ideal seemed less likely to be attained.

Notes: Points out two aspects of the presidency, the administrative/executive side and the symbolic/ceremonial function. Washington provided a "half-way between monarchy and republicanism" by his role-playing of the presidency, but TJ completed the transition by humanizing the presidency and symbolizing not the Union but the people. Argues that TJ's hands-off style of administration worked because of the force of his intellect, character, and personality, but it would not and did not work for presidents who were not him. Notes that the experience of the presidency affected TJ and Washington in similar ways, particularly in regard to their final terms which were marked by internal squabbling, presidential self-confidence to the point of arrogance, and a turn from domestic reforms to foreign policy.

Critiques LaHaye's methods, including his rejection of the last fifty years of historical scholarship because it is "secularist," but particularly his avoidance or minimizing of TJ. Against LaHaye's contention that TJ was "a secularized politician" who got his ideas in France, asserts that TJ combined a belief in the moral values of the Christian religion with a rejection of a role for organized religionists in politics and government. Describes TJ as a "religious humanist" and charges Lahaye with reading back his own understanding of Christianity onto the 18th century founders. But admits that LaHaye has a point against secularists reading back their own positions onto TJ and others.

Notes: Arguing that TJ's house mirrored himself, claims that "Monticello is the man, and the house is a living testimony to the truth, `I am what I build. '" This leads to an excellent account of TJ's life at Monticello and forcibly reminds us of the degree to which Monticello was always a house in process. TJ did not complete the distinctive porticoes until 1823, by which time sections finished years earlier were already beginning to fall into serious disrepair. The image of a white, shining house we behold today is a myth. The attempt to read TJ's life out of his house does seem, however, to open itself up to some questionable psychologizing; it is difficult, for example, to see why TJ's cramped staircases are necessarily "deeply symbolic of its owner's difficulties with free access and disclosure."

The second looks at Monticello in the context of its surrounding and claims TJ's siting “in a lofty position relative to his fellow country people” contradicts his fundamental political principles. The third looks at TJ's “laboratory garden” as a site of modernity that broke with tradition and established “ a language of abstraction for Jefferson's ideas of democracy. ” Illustrated with photocopied material.

Title: "Gilbert Stuart's Portraits of Jefferson."
Publication: American Art Journal
Volume: 13
Date: (Winter 1981)
Extent: 2-16.

Notes: Gilbert Stuart painted TJ from life in Philadelphia in 1800 and twice in Washington in 1805. His "devious and sometimes fraudulent business practices" have clouded the history of the portraits. Stuart never delivered the 1800 painting to TJ, and what happened to it is unknown. He used the second portrait to make the half length portrait commissioned by James Bowdoin and then apparently sold the original to Madison. Argues that stylistic evidence supports the conclusion that the portrait TJ was finally able to pry loose from Stuart, the so-called Edgehill portrait, was not the original but a copy made about 1821. The version of this painting found by Orland Campbell seems not to be by Stuart at all; see TJCAB #2652 for Campbell's argument which is here rejected. The third portrait was the so-called "Medallion Profile" done in crayon and gouache; this was delivered to TJ shortly after it was completed in 1805. Previously listed as #3090 in TJCAB

John Trumbull helped TJ get the picture from Brown and placed an order for a portrait of Thomas Paine in addition to that of John Adams. Trumbull himself did a small portrait of Paine for TJ as well as one of TJ for "Miss Jefferson."

Describes the form of the Statute as "rather like an introduction to a waltz" with its long, passionate, and intellectually weighty preamble, its brief statement of enactment, and its concluding paragraph that "might be said to be rather amusingly un-Jeffersonian." Actually, in the last paragraph TJ tries to get around his own belief that one generation cannot bind another with an assertion that the rights behind the statute are "the natural rights of mankind." Thus, any later attempts to repeal it would infringe those rights.

Notes: Possibly the best essay-length treatment of the difficult question of TJ's attitudes toward slavery and toward African Americans because it is neither merely apologetic nor polemical. Gives credit to his early efforts, tentative as they sometimes were, toward ending slavery, and notes how the Declaration sets down the principles of equality and rights which implicitly undermined the arguments for enslavement of blacks. Also notes his racism, his giving up after 1785 or so of the struggle to end slavery, and late in life his changed attitudes to slavery in the face of the threat to the South posed by the Missouri Compromise.

Title: Jefferson and Nature: An Interpretation.

Notes: Claims Jefferson deployed `nature' not as a bright thread that led through his intellectual universe but as an unpatterned fabric that enveloped it." Explores TJ's various usage of "nature" and "natural" in an attempt to give a systematic grounding to his ideas and values. Distinguishes between physical nature and human nature, examines the natural basis of his moral and aesthetic ideas as well as of his political and economic concepts, and concludes with a discussion of his "Life with Nature." This is an interesting notion which often is suggestive or informative, but finally it reveals the potential weakness of the thematic approach as inherently reductive. This is particularly true in the pages on TJ's aesthetic ideas which do not make adequate use of recent scholarship in this area. On the whole, however, the book offers a useful if somewhat conventional account of an extremely important element of Jefferson's mentalité

Notes the egalitarian implications of the Statute, TJ's commitment to intellectual freedom, and discussion of how intellectual liberty in the late twentieth century needs to be defended on somewhat different grounds than TJ did. Modern methods of manipulating opinion were unknown to TJ but represent as great a threat to intellectual liberty as the state did in the eighteenth-century and before.

Notes: The founding generation tended to see crowds as "the people out of doors," as an extra-legal arm of the community. The discussion between Adams and TJ reveals a richer, more nuanced picture, even if each man tended to analyze them in similar terms of aim, conduct, and composition. Adams was generally suspicious of mobs, although he admired the participants in the Boston Tea Party; he typically castigates rioters for taking the law into their own hands. TJ tended to see mobs as a democratic last resort. Although he analyzed crowds in the same terms as Adams, he came to place more emphasis on the particular faces and life of a crowd.

Notes: Aims to show how the miscegenation legend accreted in British travel books about America and how British authors for the most part attempted to outdo their predecessors in scandal. Beginning with Callender's scurrilous charges, writers like Mrs. Smollet, Thomas Hamilton, and Hugo Playfair let their imaginations expand upon precious few facts (and those mostly irrelevant to the accusations) in order to develop the full-blown fantasies of TJ's white daughter being sold upon the block in New Orleans. Not all travellers took up the issue, and only relatively few pursued it at length. Some Tory writers used it as a device to expose republican principles as vicious in practice. Well-researched and informative.
