Publisher: Scribner's
City: New York
Date: 1923
Pages: 133-68
Notes: Praises TJ for his principles and commitment to civil
and political liberty, yet is deeply suspicious of those who supported him
and whom he
supported: "hack libellers, ... half-rebellious democratic societies made
up chiefly of the
mobs of the large cities, ... moonshiners of the mountains." Because of
this and similar
contradictions, "Perhaps no great writer on politics ... needs to have his
sayings and acts
analysed more carefully than does Jefferson."

Notes: TJ because of his overriding concern for
individual liberty customarily thought of organization from the bottom
up. He attempted to
control the exercise of power in space by decentralization and to control
it in time by regular
rotation in office. "Hamilton is our great teacher of the organization and
administration of
public power; Jefferson, our chief expositor of its control."
