jefferson to abigail adams. a family tragedy wrought together jefferson and adams. she wrote to express condolences on the death of her daughter. jefferson took the opportunity to remind abigail that he and john adams had a long friendship and they had never stood in one another's way. he also spoke about the midnight appointments. "i can say that only one act gave me a moment of displeasure. his appointments were unkind. they were from among my most ardent political enemies. it was men who had views to defeat mine." this one reads differently. often, jefferson comes across as cool and reserved. here, he is speaking to abigail as the intellectual equal and he is concerned that politics may have ruptured their friendship. host: this frustration seethed in jefferson for years. >> oh, both the appointments and the case perturbed for different reasons. they came together. in the sense of adams, within that letter, jefferson took it very personally. he was taking over the government and, even in the executive branch,

they are taking on jefferson and the jefferson administration by filing suit. the supreme court, at that point, was far from a coequal branch of government. they had no respect, no prestige. the supreme court sits and hears the arguments and the lawyer had been attorney general in the adams administration. and then the supreme court issues an order to show cause. what that means is they are ordering madison and jefferson to justify their actions. they say they will hear the case in june of 1802. this shocked the jefferson administration. because now, the supreme court is really sticking it to them. the supreme court is going to make them justify why they did not deliver the commission and it is going to hear this lawsuit. the jefferson allies react with a fury. host: one of the things important about this series is it is interactive. we invite participation. you can call in a few minutes from now. here are the numbers. if you live in the mountain or pacific time zones -- you can also tweet us questions. we will work those in throughout the program. cases. #land

doing whatjust jefferson is telling him. on, the nixon tapes. host: it is really jefferson. should tell you that this amicably between jefferson and adams. correspondue to through the rest of the years en ended their lives on the same day on the 40th anniversary of the declaration of independence. despite the fact that jefferson went over to the state department, he was never one to admonish the congress on the judiciary. that changed with marbury. why? william marbury and other individuals who drop out of the case in the popular history, but were supposed to be justices of , they filed suit against madison, in his role as secretary of state. that thehe first time new congress and headed by the democratic republicans, .efferson's party, is sitting there is great anticipation. this is the first time the jefferson administration, in its full breadth, is getting together for this congress. marbury and these others file suit in supreme court and ask , anda writ of mandamus court,from the orders james madison to deliver so they can take their jobs. all of them are promenades and

and they are taking on jefferson in the jefferson administration by filing suit.he supreme court was at that point very far from a co-equal branch of government. it had no respect, no prestige and the supreme court sits and hears the arguments and their lawyer is charles lee who was the attorney general in the adams administration. and hen the supreme court issues an order to show cause and what that means is they are ordering madison, and jefferson, to justify their actions. and they say they are going to hear the case, when they sit again in june 1802. and this shocks the jefferson administration. because now, the supreme court is really sticking it to them, the supreme court is going to make them justify why they didn't deliver the commissions. and it's going to hear this lawsuit. and so, jefferson, and his allies react with a fury to that order to show cause. >> one of the things that will be important about the series is it's interactive. we invite your participation three ways. you can call us and we will go to calls in a few moments. the eastern and central

later defenders of jefferson would quote a maximum of thomas jefferson. we think now he probably didn't say, but i think he would have claimed it that government at best is that which governs the least. that is the beginning of the book. it ties to the beginning of the due republic. the second chapter, two men who are considerably less well-known. john randolph of virginia, with daniel makin of north carolina. out of curiosity, how many of you know about nathaniel macon? i know troy know troy does. a few hands went up. i think this was an interesting chapter as they are not very well-known. i think they deserve to be well-known than they are. in some ways makin and randolph were the quintessential political odd couple. they had a 30 year friendship which would spend their time in congress. makin makin was from north carolina, makin was from north carolina. they shared lodging together in washington for 30 year period there are very close personally. makin could be described as solid, cautious, reserved, even somewhat severe and socially very democratic. v

stewart, so thomas jefferson gave his copy to dougal's door and mr. stewart writes, i was told by mr. jefferson that the greater part of the papers in this collection were written by mr. madison. i think people are fascinated by this book because of the ownership, because of the prominence, the fact that it was john jay's copy than it was passed to this goddess philosopher while jefferson is abroad in paris. the interesting thing that dougal stewart wrote this piece about mr. madison be in the majority author of the paper when we know it isn't true. we often speculated may be jefferson said that but he didn't want it to be written down. then i think it is extremely significant that jefferson actually wrote, annotated in response to something that hamilton is trying to push forward that he disagrees with. the federalist papers are an example of the text that we go back to time and again to really understand the meaning within our constitution, i i think it is insightful to see the inscriptions for an understanding of the different perspectives. so, i k

or jefferson. but, they had smuggled into the founding document a set of values which are inherently utopian. the world that jefferson imagines is impossible on this earth. a group of free individuals who are allowed to coexist, harmoniously, without any interference and practice what they wish and they will never collide either politically or economically and they will generate collective harmony and economic productivity in the marketplace. marxist view of what happens in paradise when the state withers away. it will never happen. say,lincoln would say, did we can keep getting closer. that is what we are doing. i'm getting us closer by ending slavery. martin luther king is going to get us closer by ending segregation. barack obama is going to get us closer i ending the threat to the planet. that is to be decided. area set of goals which inherently unattainable, but which are there to drive us forward. adams, i am saying, would not do that. saying, and we can continue this discussion next time, fi

she said this is jefferson. this is adams. jefferson is serenity, he floats. his whole mind floats. his ideas float. adams is tenacious, aggressive. what is the word? he will be a string of verbs -- nouns, like seven or eight of them. they are like air bursts. and you can see them sitting there, grrr! he is writing these things. and letter writing in the late 18th century is an art. and most of the founders practice it diligently. washington is not great. i had to read all of his correspondence. every once in a while, but adams and jefferson are the best. hamilton is good, too. but he treats it like a memo. and abigail is right in there certainly. what is her education? did you go to radcliffe? it did not exist then. she was homeschooled by her father, and by her grandmother who give her a lot of books and stuff. she was not -- she did not have latin and greek. which is the gateway to learning in the late 18th century. one of the things that makes women and new england both even before the revolution but most especially after the revolution, women who are presumed to be literate and

his mother ginger jefferson was convicted of killing dustin's wife kerry o'clair-jefferson in 2013. according to testimony in her trial, she stabbed o'clair-jefferson to death. the judge didn't say what county the trial will move to. jefferson's defense lawyer isn't asking the judge to base the move on whether there would be enough native americans in the area for the jury pool. jefferson had previously requested the move because of that and media coverage. his last mistrial ended with the jury deadlocked in favor of guilty. the students and staff at mark twain elementary school in iowa city ill no longer have classes in trailers. today the school opened an entire new wing of the building. the addition includes a music room. teachers, school board members, and students celebrated the opening of the new wing. the project manager says the school also has a new geothermal heating and cooling system.

the founder that he ted engages with as thomas jefferson. as a complicated man he has a long career, he changes angesind on a number of his mind on a number of issues, he loses his heart on a number of issues i think his mind is a room with doors that lead into each other but jefferson was a young jefferson at 33 years old here wrote the declaration of independence the first self evident truth is that all men are created equal and we again will make this a a a touchstone of his politics for the rest of his life. ended 1859 celebrating jefferson's birthday he can go but he sends him a message and helps -- in hopes it is reprinted he said the beliefs are the definitions and actions of a free society to say all of virtus jefferson to go into a revolutionary document. so here he makes it a battle of trenton fighting for something that is internally important and that the most famous indication will be the "gettysburg address" because fourscore and seven years ago it is 1776 so lincoln identifies the declaration at the beginning of the american e

jefferson and madison had a series of interesting letters, in 1787 when jefferson was in france and helpingto the constitution. madison was jefferson's protists shea, their close friends. madison as i recall was a christian, jefferson was an open deist. deist believed that some intelligence brought the university under universe to be. that quote god does not interfere with day-to-day life. everything came out of something that is sacred and divine, deist would see the world is alive and say great but would not pray to anybody to do anything. prayer was not a part of it. anyhow, jefferson and madison had this correspondence, madison was madison was concerned that if government started subsidizing churches or even providing them with very specific protection, this turned into quite a discussion, the churches would become corrupted. madison was very concerned about christianity, he didn't want it to be corrupted by government. jefferson was concerned about a priest becoming president, or a member of congress. he thought members of the clergy should be essentially banned from political service.

finally on the 37 vote or so, they decided to elect thomas jefferson. when they did that, they showed the power, the purpose, the promise of a federal umpire, what better umpire could be desired than people in congress deciding the fate of the country. and they preserved the union. john adams at this time that there would be a civil war, many people, backing up slightly, they had totally tortured alexander hamilton for a decade. he was unfaithful to his wife, they leaked the news to the press. the man who did that was probably james monroe, a leader -- later president. the situation in partisanship was a so bad that the oldest son of alexander hamilton was killed in a duel. but in any case, alexander hamilton was so afraid, and adams wrote that a civil war was expected and what they thought that would happen, is what had happened in france. everybody's heads coming off. instead, the umpire made the decision, alexander hamilton was charged to a duel by aaron for. -- aaron burr. he does not fire his gun. he does not want to take his life, but aaron burr w

jefferson was a deist, not a christian.hey believed that some intelligence brought the university to be and then just up back. that quote god doesn't appear to day-to-day life. but everything that that came out was sacred and divine. so deist would see it as 11 sacred but would not pray to anybody. prayer was not a part of it. jefferson and madison have this correspondence were madison was concerned that if government ever started subsidizing churches or even providing with very specific protection, this turned into quite a discussion, that the churches would become corrupted and madison was very concerned about christianity. he did not wanted to be corrupted by government. jefferson was concerned about a priest becoming a member of congress he thought members of the clergy should be banned from political service. he never came out a specifically bandit but he was worried about it and concerned about it that religion would corrupt government. so his government, corrupt religion or religion corrupt government. so madison got

i know thomas jefferson is meant to be president. it is a different matter when it went to the house of representatives. who dominates? the opposition party. their party, the federalists with john adams, they had to decide between thomas jefferson and their second favorite person to hate, aaron burr. the chances were good that they would have selected thomas jefferson. a person who came to the aid of aaron burr was alexander hamilton, who wrote letter after letter saying you have to elect jefferson because he is a man of honor. i cannot stand him, but he has principles. i do not agree with him on 100 things, but he is a man of honor. he loves this country. aaron burr is an opportunist. so what happened was these federalist voted 34 times. aaron burr sat on his hands the whole time, he never said, i understand jefferson is the one that you wanted, no. so,lly on the 35th vote or congress decided by one vote to elect thomas jefferson. when they did that, they showed the power, the purpose, the promise of a federal umpire, what better um

so why -- wasn't jefferson a hypocrite? isn't every word of the declaration of independence merely an example of self-serving hypocrisy? that is a question i have gotten a lot as i've talked about the declaration, so before i take you into the text of the declaration, just brief live i need to say something about who wrote the declaration of independence. this is important, too, because as i understand it, on the u.s. citizenship there's a question, who wrote the declaration of independence. the correct answer from the state department is thomas jefferson. i'm going to give you a different answer. jefferson, as you know on his tombstone but author, declaration of independence. that is a very good way to make sure you get credit for something. keep that in mind. consider now what you want credit for. this is not say he doesn't deserve credit. he does. he was the chair of the committee of five people who drafted the declaration. but who else is on the committee? john adams, benjamin franklin, rogershireman, robert livingston.
