Talk:Presidency of Thomas Jefferson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
he was great
[edit] Term of Presidency?
Why is his term listed as from 1800 to 1810? He was president until 1808 (1809 including up to the inauguration of the next president). Also, there is no mention of him doing anything in this article in 1810 besides the term end of his Secretary of the Navy. Raj O Mac 18:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Continuation of Federalist Policies?
this section never does demonstate how he does this. plus i've never seen info to support it. can it be clarified, and possibly reword the statement "came back to hurt the US" to sound more official?
[edit] orphan paragraph
I came to the article to correct the misspelling of separation but the paragraph below was just tagged on to the end and isn't particularly well-written so I commented it out. The separation of church and state didn't occur during his presidency though he may have had much to do with it being written into the constitution. Also the last sentence doesn't really make sense. But if there's anything in there that needs to be incorporated into the article please do so.
Thomas Jefferson also had many other accomplishments in his presidency. He gave us separation of church and state, while Adams and Hamilton pushed for a state government. He also expanded trial by jury. The Jeffersonian democracy helped give the states their rights, while still keeping a strong central government, and kept close tabs on the South, who was growing in oppression, and needed to be mandated because of crimes, slavery, and other bad politics and injustices.
