Date: (1919)
Pages: 172-85

1519
Name: Crosskey , William Winslow
Title: Politics and the Constitution in the History of the United States

Publisher: Univ. of Chicago Press
City: Chicago
Date: 1953
Pages: 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.

Title: The Jeffersonian Republicans: The Formation of Party Organization, 1789-1801

Publisher: Univ. of North Carolina Press
City: Chapel Hill
Date: 1957
Pages: pp. x, 279
Notes: Focuses on the development of the Republican party on a broad front but also contains a good deal specifically on TJ's role. Rejects the idea of TJ as the organizing genius who singlehandedly brought it all together, although his political shrewdness made him an effective party leader after he returned to political life in 1796. The best book on this subject.

1524
Name: Cunningham , Noble E., Jr.
Title: The Process of Government Under Jefferson

Publisher: Princeton Univ. Press
City: Princeton
Date: 1978
Pages: pp. xii, 357
Notes: TJ "brought to the presidency the most system in administration and the strongest leadership that the office had yet experienced," even though he left Federalist-designed structures essentially intact. He made the cabinet system work because of his talent for organization, his reliance on discussion and persuasion rather than authority, and his ability to preserve harmony among men of conflicting temperaments. He was also able to mobilize the power of his party, and he kept the government open to the people. A well-researched and significant book.

Pages: pp. xii, 377
Notes: Argues that the Jeffersonian Republicans were not a monolithic party and that after the election of 1800 there was not simply one struggle over the federal judiciary system but various struggles on state and national levels. Furthermore, the attack on the judiciary reflects the struggle between the radicals and moderates in TJ's own party, with the acquittal of Samuel Chase marking the turning point in favor of the moderates. An excellent work, but it has more to do with Jeffersonians than with TJ per se.

Notes: Review essay of Dwight's History of the Hartford Convention and Sullivan's Familiar Letters. Traces the Democratic party from the anti-federalists and characterizes the party under TJ as party of Liberty, the Federalists led by Hamilton as the party of Law. But since Britain is now on the side of Liberty, "The parties, into which our fathers were divided on the great argument of Liberty and Law, can therefore never be revived ... as it came up before, connected with the policy of Europe and the rival interests of France and England ...." Still worth reading.

Title: Jefferson and the Presidency: Leadership in the Young Republic

Publisher: Cornell Univ. Press
City: Ithaca
Date: 1978
Pages: pp. 332
Notes: Argues that TJ significantly developed techniques for presidential leadership, particularly in finding extra-constitutional sources of power. He used his immense prestige, patronage, the press, and the social advantages of his office to capitalize upon his position as leader of his party. "The effective use of this rudimentary machinery of party as an instrument of presidential power was one of Jefferson's most important contributions to the presidency." Excellent book.

Publisher: Yale Univ. Press

Date: 1967
Pages: p. ix, 175
Notes: Good study of TJ's attachment to France, his friendships with French citizens, and his political dealings with that nation. Assesses the charge that TJ's Francophilia led him into the service of the French Revolution and Napoleon and concludes that his foreign policy was not determined by French influence but that he saw the necessity for a balance of power in Europe to safeguard American independence and believed the balance in his time was weighted in favor of the British.

Notes: Argues that TJ was most successful as a statesman when he showed an appreciation for the importance of a balance of power in Europe for America's fortunes, when he saw the need for freedom from foreign entanglement, and when he valued a cautious diplomacy in advancing westward expansion. His rationalizations of the Embargo and for involvement in the Napoleonic Wars departed from this policy.

Notes: A continuous thread in TJ's public career was his belief in "British policy as part of a plot to subvert American liberties," and this belief played a part in his difficulties as Secretary of State when he had to deal with both Hamilton's Anglophilia and France's intransigent behavior.
