friend of george washington, and george washington took thomas marshall out on surveying trips where they surveyed the lands of lord fairfax. what's called the northern neck of virginia, a huge piece of land on chesapeake bay was all owned by lord fairfax before the revolution. and washington and marshall were favorites of his, and he sent them out to survey his land. after virginia, the commonwealth of virginia was going bankrupt and it threatened to seize lands that were not lived in. so fairfax quickly saw to it that his lands were surveyed so that he could keep up that property. well, john marshall was one of, was his first -- was thomas or marshall's first born son, the oldest of 15 children. all of whom survived, which was rare in those days. so as the oldest of this brood, he became a surrogate leader in a sense. he solved their arguments because the father was off surveying a lot of the time, and thomas was the oldest and became this wonderful negotiator of all these battles between his brothers and sisters. he then was, he was educated by his father and mother at home as a y

and what the story of charles thomas becomes is one of utter frustration. nobody wants to investigate. nobody wants to get to the bottom of this. and he keeps asking the question again and again and again. for reasons that are very mysterious at the time, thomas finds his career derailed. and he finds himself forced out of the state department for what would later described as mistakes of a clerical nature. and there's some reason to believe he was forced out because he was asking too many questions about what the cia and fbi knew about oswald in mexico city. it appears that after he's forced out of this -- out of the state department, he is then denied any opportunity to begin a new career because he just can't get the references from the state department and the rest of the government that will allow him to get a new job. towards the end of his life he does write a letter to the secretary of state, william rogers, then president nixon's secretary of state, asking, pleaseding that somebody again try to get to the bottom of what happened in mexico city. the

and it was thomas jefferson who drafted that document. and then, after mr. dunlop distributed it, it was decided the members would come back and sign it. they came back in august. they signed the declaration of independence. that document is in the archives, but it has faded. as it was fading, john quincy adams said they had to make a perfect copy, because it had been treated poorly and was almost burned in the war of 1812 when the british were invading. so it was safely stored, but it was fading. and so they did make 200 perfect copies in 1832, called stone copies, after the printer mr. stone. now there are 35 of them left. whenever you see in "the new york times" a copy of the declaration of independence, you are seeing a stone copy, which is now here. a perfect replica, made by a process where they took a wet cloth to the original declaration of independence and took off half the ink, ruining further the original declaration of independence, but they made a perfect copy, and now we have these perfect copies so people can see it. the declaration of indepen

thomas jefferson said something like this, too. there is an exchange of letters between jefferson and madison where jefferson makes something very much like paine's claim. that every law should expire after a generation. madison right back this wonderful letter where he gently says -- if you think about what things will look like on the days that the laws expire, i'm not sure that you want to do this. [laughter] the radicalism of jefferson's kind of liberalism goes that far and there are times when he was willing to take it to its logical occlusion and times where he wasn't. paine always took it to its logical conclusion and it results in arguments like those. >> this is great. i have a follow-up. i want to put in one more plug during our remaining 15 audience for our c-span audience to treat us your questions. tweet us your questions. by the end of his days, jefferson was questioning aboutls, as we will learn in our final talk of the evening. in that sense, what was pain and and jefferson's alternative? did they believe there shou
