Thomas Jefferson's Code Of Lazyness
Thomas Jefferson was explaining in a short version of his life he never stopped doing things he always did something to keep him busy. He was never lazy when he woke up he was ready for the day. I think its better you never be idle "lazy" because its like a disease its just spreads. One day your like I'll do my work and the next i don't really feel like doing it I would rather be asleep. If your are lazy you will not keep a job. You cannot support a family and you will get nowhere in life. If you are never idle then you will exceed in life. You will have the opportunity to get a good job, meet a good girl to marry and eventual have kids. You will pay off the house you want to own. Pay back any loans or debt that you owe. Now laziness

    The perception that Federalists were loose constructionists and that Jeffersonian Republicans were very strict constructionists was very well founded, but not accurate 100% of the time. The presidency of Thomas Jefferson mainly supported the theory that the Jeffersonian Republicans were strict constructionists. James Madison's presidency supported that theory as well. Both presidents, however, made exceptions to their general policies when an issue was just too big to fit inside the tiny box of their shared school of thought.…

    The use of unique grammar, antithesis, and passive diction all has a persuasive impact on the implications that The Declaration of Independence beseeches. The entirety of the Declaration’s argument is based on the notion that “All men are created equal” (1). However, that is not proper grammar, proper grammar would call for ‘equal’ to be an adverb ‘equally’ modifying created. But, Jefferson wants to explain that all men are equal. Traditionally, the ‘equal’ would then come after ‘men’ instead of ‘created.’ This grammatically construct now appears like ‘equal’ is modifying both verb and noun. This alludes to an equal creation and being. And due to its man’s equality in all forms, the government does not have a right to be tyrannical. This assumption…

    The social responsibility model is the duty that news media presents news with informativeness, accuracy, truth and objectivity. This responsibility is so the news can not sway the viewers opinion or give false information. In regards to the quotes by Thomas Jefferson, I agree more with the quote from 1807; my opinion is backed by my belief that government is just as important than the news because of the bias' the news contains. The quote from 1807 also pertains to the ethics of journalism and the social responsibility model than the other quote because it directly speaks on the principals of social responsibility of the news media. Thomas Jefferson is attacking the truthfulness and bias of the news in this quote, which to me, fits the topic…

    In 1800 when Thomas Jefferson became the President, he recognized major changes in the US government. The Federalist Party was weakening at a high rate. Jefferson’s views and opinions were very from the Federalist Party. He believed in a smaller government and a more equal economy for all classes. During his presidency, his greatest achievement was most likely the Louisiana Purchase. This is where for only 15 million dollars; the United States purchased a large region of land left of the Mississippi from the Spanish. Although Louisiana was an incredible price, it was not good enough for the Republican territorial. The territories were too vague. Jefferson pushed ahead his plans to gain West Florida, but his attempts failed. Jefferson…

    Thomas Jefferson was one of the framers of our nation; he was really good at doing it too. First, in his time Thomas Jefferson was a very good candidate for being in a leadership role, and that is exactly what he did during the Revolutionary War. He served as the Governor of Virginia and was the Vice President under John Adams. Secondly, Thomas Jefferson really had a lasting image of our government today. He was a part of Washington's side of the Anti-Federalists, and which today seems like the 2 main political parties: Democrat and Republican.

    1. The grievance that stands out the most to me is the one where The King kept standing armies among the colonies even in times of peace. To keep an army in the States shows that The King never wanted the colonies to be equal to Great Britain. The fact that The King never respected any attempt from the colonies to establish a government and would repeatedly dissolve Representative Houses is surprising to me. The way that Thomas Jefferson lists these charges leads me to believe that Great Britain would just assume the colonies not exist outside of being subjects to the throne. Thomas Jefferson wrote, “ He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.” This makes it evident that The King would destroy the system of government that the colonies tried to institute. The King would then take his time in…

    Throughout our short time in this class we have been able look at many articles written by very influential people. The arguments they have presented have affected numerous people across the globe. By studying the works of Jefferson, Stanton, Wollstonecraft, and Woolf I have been able to see what makes an argument good vs what make an argument great. What makes an argument great or the best, is the authors ability to select the correct audience, use form to address that audience and ultimately have a lasting effect on the world. Although each of these authors present their arguments in an excellent manner, I believe that it is Jefferson who presents the best argument. There are three criteria which make Jefferson’s argument transcend above…

    In “Thomas Jefferson and the Meanings of Liberty” by Douglas L. Wilson, there is a recurring topic of presentism. The question of whether or not presentism should be applied is left ambiguous to the reader. While some may say that presentism should not be applied because history should remain the same, presentism helps history stay relevant and interesting. One instance is when Wilson was questioning whether or not historical figures should be remembered for the best or worst accomplishments. The answer to that question depends on the reader and whether or not they are practicing presentism. An example to further demonstrate the use of presentism, Jefferson’s liaison with one of his slaves, Sally Hemings. When applying presentism some people…
