Notes: TJ in his First Inaugural typified the position of the "old Republicans," in his Second Inaugural he typified the position of the "new Republicans" who were dominant after 1815. Although not interested in the normal procedures of day to day administration, TJ was "as skillful as his Federalist predecessors in using administrative means for far-reaching political ends." His first term was marked by successful innovations in policy and administration, but his second ended in the disaster of the Embargo. TJ's "significance in American history flows much less from his contribution to the art of administration than from his convictions about democracy."

Notes: Describes the passage of TJ's Virginia Statute for Freedom of Religion as an expression of his unswerving "devotion to the principle of complete independence of religion and government." A prominent exponent of the "broad" interpretation of the First Amendment, Pfeffer and his portrayal of TJ have come under some attack from conservative proponents in favor of a narrower view of the limits on governmental relations with religion. Despite some enthusiastic overstatement (such as that quoted above) which opens him to criticism, he seems to give a more accurate account of TJ than most of his critics.

Publisher: Univ. of Chicago Press
Place of Publication: Chicago
Date: (1953)
Extent: 2 vols. pp.xi,708;viii,711-1410

Notes: In order to explain how "our government became the queer, crippled thing which it is," contends that the original Constitution was subverted by "anti-federalist" Jeffersonians, who frustrated the establishment of a unitary system with a dominant central government by reinterpreting the Constitution according to their principles. Focus is on the early struggles in the Supreme Court, TJ. vs. Marshall, etc. and on the implications of the fourteenth amendment. Enormously documented, passionately argued legal history which will seem wrong-headed to many readers. Even so, throws light on TJ and his difficulties with the judiciary and with Marshall.

Notes: Translation of La Republique Americaine. Paris: Gallimard, 1958. Discusses TJ's role in creating the American republic, comparing him to Saint~ust and seeing him as a revolutionary who recognized "the concrete dimension of time." Claims the Declaration is "totally devoid of ideological fanaticism, empty abstractions, all excess." Hamilton's economic system laid a solid foundation for national unity which TJ could not reject, yet his warnings about the Hamiltonian system remind us of the threat "a vast and complex machinery of industry" poses to individual liberty.
