- Essay on Jefferson
-
- Jefferson had destroyed political traditions. From his
-
- contradictions and defecting his priciples, Jefferson
-
- destroyed the political precedent and is a exemplatory hypocrite,
-
- which can be seen throughout his administration.
-
- Jefferson was an admired statesman who was grappling
-
- unsuccessfully with the moral issue of slavery. Thomas Jefferson,
-
- the author of the Declaration of Independence, opposed slavery
-
- his whole life, yet he never freed his own slaves. He championed
-
- Enlightenment principles, yet never freed himself of the
-
- prejudices of his soceity. Jefferson was extremely hypocritical
-
- in the issue of slavery. Jefferson was a plantation owner early
-
- in his life, and had slaves working for him throughout his life.
-
- Jefferson had tolerated while he didn't accept others who owned
-
- slaves. Jefferson denounced the slave owners, while he was owning
-
- and using slaves. Although Jefferson was supposedly a good slave
-
- owner, his hypocritical nature made him accuse others not to own
-
- slaves while he, himself was owning slaves. Another part of the
-
- hypocrisy was that Jefferson believed that the slaves were
-
- dependent upon the white man, while he, himself was dependent upon
-
- the slaves. Jefferson also was hypocritcal in his acquisition of
-
- the Loisiana territory. In Jeffersonian principles, large expansive
-
- governments were bad, and small was good. This was a antithesis of
-
- that principle. Jefferson knew that the acquisition of the Loisiana
-
- territory was beneficial to the welfare of the U.S. According to
-
- the constitution, nowhere in the constitution is the acquisition of
-
- land a right of the government, Jeffersons' predisposition was to
-
- strictly go by the constitution (as seen with the national bank
-
- controversy), this is another contradiction during his
-
- administration. Since the appropriation of the Lousiana territory
-
- was important for the expansion of the united states, he
-
- temporarily dismissed his principles, therefore destroying
-
- political traditions.
-
- Another hypocritical event during Jeffersons' administration
-
- was his acceptance of the National Bank. Early in Jefferson's
-
- political career, Jefferson had debated with Hamilton on whether to
-
- have the National Bank. "When this government was first
-
- established, it was possible to have kept it going on true
-
- principles, but the contracted, English, half-lettured ideas of
-
- Hamilton destroyed that hope in the bud, We can pay off his debts
-
- in 15 years." Early in Jefferson's Administration, Jefferson had
-
- denounced the National Bank. At the end of his administration,
-
- Jefferson realized that the National Bank was important and this is
-
- hypocritical by disregarding his principles.
-
- The Burr conspiracy depicted Jefferson as a ruthless, and a
-
- individual who will do anything inorder to achieve his goal.
-
- Jefferson championed civil liberties and unalienable rights. Yet,
-
- Jefferson violated civil liberties by coercing witnesses, arrested
-
- with out habeus corpus and prosecuting in a "court" of his own.
-
- Jefferson and Jeffersonians are hypocrites from the start and they
-
- destroyed political tradition as seen during Jeffersons'
-
- administration.
-
- Jeffersonians show an immense amount of hypocritism in their
-
- policies. For example, Federalists had supported high tarriffs,
-
- inorder to protect national manufacturers and american industry.
-
- The tarriffs were a vital determinent, which kept the economy of
-
- the United States viable. The Jeffersonians, not the Federalists
-
- began the American system of protecting american industry which
-
- initially was a major constituent of the federalist platform.
