Title: "Race and the Moral Foundation of the American Republic: Another Look at the Declaration and the Notes on Virginia."
Publication: Journal of Politics
Volume: 53
Date: (1991)
Extent: 90-106

Notes: Closely argued essay contending that the moral implications of the Declaration of Independence are incompatible with TJ's so-called scientific discussion of race in TJ's Notes . Demonstrates that his project to account for racial differences in Query 14 is "ill-conceived and contradictory. Critiques earlier arguments by Boorstin, Jordan, and Wills. Concludes that TJ's "Enlightenment faith in progress" blinded him to the tension between the self-evident truths of the Declaration that recognized the equality of all humans and the methods of modern "science" which rest precisely on "proofs" based on"facts." He further seems to have overlooked this tension because of his insistence that his doubts about black inferiority were no more than "suspicions."

Title: “Jefferson and Property Rights” in Liberty, Property, and the Foundations of the American Constitution , ed. Ellen Frankel Paul and Howard Dickman.
Publisher: SUNY Press
Place of Publication: Albany
Date: (1989)
Extent: 65-83.

Notes: Being with a consideration of why TJ did not list property as a fundamental right in the Declaration, argues that his view of property was fundamentally liberal, although qualified by his republicanism and by his view of human nature as influenced by the moral sense theory of the Scottish philosophers. Against those who argue for either a liberal or communitarian TJ sees “this blend of liberal, republican, and Scottish moral sense theory” as the distinctive character of his thought. Claims the single greatest influence on TJ's understanding of property was Kames, a Scottish thinker who was “essentially liberal. ” TJ's defense of property in land and the agricultural way of life based on it was essentially moral, and unlike many of the other founders he believed that the preservation of republican government depended on the character of the people.

Publication: Reason and Republicanism , ed. McDowell and Noble
Publisher: Rowman and Littlefield
Place of Publication: Lanham MD.
Date: (1997)
Extent: 271-304.

Notes: Well defined analysis of TJ's thinking about the nature of the moral sense and its relation to reason, arguments of utility, a sense of justice, and how it might be developed and strengthened in young republicans. Notes that while Jefferson was indeed influenced by the Scottish theorists, he drew eclectically from several of them, perhaps more from Kames and Adam Smith than from Hutcheson, in contrast to Garry Wills's insistence on the nearly unique importance of Hutcheson. A helpful discussion, later reprinted as chapter 2 in the author's 1998

Publication: Virginia Quarterly Review

Extent: 32-37.

Notes: Responding to Malone's last volume, looks at TJ's late years and sees him as not quiescently settling into old age but "still battling on all sorts of fronts on which the war was to go badly for him." Notes his mounting personal debts, his concern about centralizing political power, threats to popular sovereignty, but also his ability to rise above the storm. Praises Malone's TJ as sage as a portrayal valuable for its sympathies and for its critical stance.
