Title: The Jeffersonians: A Study in Administrative History, 1801-1829
Publisher: Macmillan
City: New York
Date: 1951
Pages: pp. xiv, 572
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."

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: 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.
