I believe that Thomas Jefferson is a hypocrite in the sense of creating the constitution and going against his own rules and here is why.

He does not have respect for all men, only white men; he has openly made rude remarks to African Americans and has not mentioned any reasonable rights that apply to them...

Grown in dry soil, it could supplant, he hoped, the lowland rice that Georgia and the Carolinas depended on – “a plant,” he wrote, “which sows life and death with almost equal hand,” because the crop’s...

Since 1960, presidents discussing their political ideology is not a guarantee for presidential victory, rather it is character, demeanor, presentability, and more than determining the verdict.
