so jefferson begins career as a noted politician in north america with this argument. essentially for as i said before decentralized government or federalism. the idea that there's a common center that has a few -- we have seen later a few enumerated powers essentially all other authority remain at the now we say the state level. this is an idea to which to come back over and over, in fact, if you look at very is last letter he ever wrote it his close political ally james had concluding paragraph where he famously says take care of my when dead and it is a very sad kind of a expecting -- kind of memorialization of the fact that he's always welcome and he's thought that his friendship was one of the best parts of his life but the rest of the letter before that was about this idea that we in in virginia must resist the centralist party program that is being pushed off by president john quincy adams bag to the old argument from the 17774 most government authority is in hands of virginia gains and cannot tolerate of the federal government legislature for us in areas of ove
