JEFFERSON’S PHILOSOPHYProtect basic human rightsCitizen control via

annual electionsWill of the PeopleMajority RuleGovt. should only

perform necessary dutiesTherefore, govt. should be

as small as possible

A “NATION OF FARMERS”Govt. should support an agrarian societyBased on a model in northern Scotland: - Communal Rights - Individual Rights

Farmers had most independence; Jefferson referred to this as agrarian democracy

Cities, factories, and land speculation will corrupt people

Upper class gains more power, which will inevitably limit the power of farming classes

QUICK WRITE - JEFFERSONIAN??QUICK WRITE - JEFFERSONIAN??

• Jefferson, and the Republicans, believed in a strict interpretation of the Constitution

• More importantly, they believed in strict constructionism of the Constitution, i.e. using only the enumerated powers of govt.

• In your opinion, was the Louisiana Purchase an example of his Republican beliefs?

• Or did Jefferson act more like a Federalist, using a loose interpretation in this acquisition?

• Please explain your answer.
