thomas jefferson is more of a "states rights" guy. himself mayrshall be was putting himself forward as a possible presidential alternative if there was a deadlock between jefferson and burr. marshall is the most popular federalist. john adams is no longer very popular having been repudiated. ,john marshall is the leader in effect of the federalist party. there is a personality there. second cousins from virginia, both connected to the randolph clan. marshall's mother-in-law was the , or had been courted at least, by jefferson. there was blood there. that is another overlay on top of this. and one final thing, is marshall himself, who as secretary of state failed to effectuate the , delivery of these things. aw as chief justice, hearing lawsuit about that factual transaction, as to which he is in effect a witness. the supreme court is sitting at a trial court in what is called a original jurisdiction. there is really a question, truthfully, by today's standards, whether marshall should be hearing this case at all or if he should recuse

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 kn

john marshall swears in thomas jefferson. e's chief justice and the two men don't like each other very much. cliff's book has a very engaging story of marshall turning the back on jefferson but here's the amazing thing about the oath. it doesn't require any profession of religion. you're allowed to say so help me god if you like. you don't have to. two of the folks up there on mt. rushmore including jefferson and lincoln were not conventional churchgoers. ours is a system mr. jefferson would want to understand there's no religious test for public office. >> when the chief justice delivers the opinion, the case is boiled down to three central questions. the first was, did marbury have a right to his commission. the court said, what? >> yes. he had a right to his commission. >> question two, if he had a right and the right violated, did the law provide a remedy for him? >> yes. he did. on both of these questions, marshall is very clear that he thinks that the jefferson administration and jefferson have acted against the law, tha

with thomas jefferson, today, we are taking a look at one of my favorite letters, written from thomas 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, e

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 umpire could be desired than people in congress deciding the fate of the country. in making this decision, they probably preserved the union. by the way john adams at this , time that there would be a civil war, in fact many people backing up slightly, they had , totally tortured alexander hamilton for a decade. he was unfa

this is thomas jefferson. but he couldn't force it.itics of the situation will not allow it to happen. i don't care nothing about what the politicians are saying. we think you all should, you know, have some freedom. and like the pope who came so beautifully a few weeks ago, and i listened to him and took a few days rest from the tour because i became sick with pneumonia. and i went away for ten days. and during that ten days, his holiness was here and i watched him every day until his plane left. i thought about this human being who has captured the world. and then i thought about him in ecuador and in bolivia. i think it was bolivia. three countries in south america. and the pope asked them to forgive the church. did you hear that, brothers and sisters? now, he didn't say forgive jesus. because the church that was killing the indigenous people really wasn't connected to jesus. they were connected to a cross that was given to constantine in a vision. and in latin, under that cross it said, [ speaking latin ] with this sign we conquer.

the federalist, deciding on the fate of thomas jefferson, they voted 34 times. aaron burr sat on his hands the whole time, he never said, i understand jefferson is the one that you want, no. 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. inste

this is thomas jefferson. but he could not force it. good why people who want to see you free but the politics of the situation will not allow it to happen. -- good white people. i don't care nothing about what the politicians are saying. "we think you all should have some freedom." like the pope who came so beautifully a few weeks ago and i listened to him, i took a few days rest from the tour because i became sick with pneumonia and i went away for 10 days. during that 10 days, his holiness was here and i watched him every day until his plane left. i thought about this human being who has captured the world. and then i thought about him in ecuador and bolivia, three countries in south america, and the pope asked them to forgive the church. did you hear that, brothers and sisters? now, he did not say forgive me. because the church that was killing the indigenous people really was not connected to them. they were connected to a cross that was given to constantine in a vision. in latin, under the cross it said, with this sign, we conquer

thomas jefferson couldn't deliver.ile i was in the they had dr. king speak. i said what is dr. king doing speaking in the lincoln memorial? so i listened. and then i reflected on abraham lincoln's words. it's written in there for the people to see. he said, and i hope i'm quoting it right, he said if i could preserve the union and keep all in slavery, i would do it. did you hear me? and he said, if i could preserve the union by letting half the slaves go free and keeping the others enslaved, i would do that your his aim was the preservation of the union. not freeing you. and that's why you are still singing we shall overcome. you've been had. you've been cooked. you've been bamboozled. in the words of brother malcolm, we have been received. abraham lincoln though, in his lincoln-douglas debate, he said, you suffer -- talking about black people -- from being in america with us, and we suffer from your presence. have you heard that before? well, go look it up. that's one thing you won't say about farrakhan. you say he is

that couple with the the fact that thomas jefferson was the man who fought the first war against islam when he was in office. we had the first, you know, the barbary pirates, and he didn't really understand it. he was trying to understand, you know, what do these people want? he owned one of the first copies in english of the quran in the united states. so he was a scholar, he read everything in its native tongue when he could. he tried to be as far fair as he could, and he also read the entire quran. so i think he gives us a good example that this is a good place to start, but we should all read the quran. we should all know what it says and don't take sound bites. don't take this from me, you know? we have all of our, in the back is all of our notes, all of the footnotes. don't take it from maine this is what we have found. we have gone to the original sources. it's not by opinion. you further that investigation yourself, but ask honest questions. not trying to prove one way or another, honest questions, and question the very existence of god while you're doing it. >> host: from your

founding fathers who i think for most important to lincoln for the washington, thomas paine, thomas jefferson. i also want to talk about first his actual father thomas lincoln, one reason that lincoln studied the founding fathers so heavily was the dissatisfaction with his own father. and then as the war went on he found himself turning to another father when those were no longer be enough. thomas lincoln born in virginia, taken to kentucky as a child review was married and raised his family and abraham was born 89. in 1817 thomas lincoln took his family to indiana abraham was nine years old and when he was 21 then moved again to eleanor where thomas lincoln lived for the rest of his life for all of his adult life he was a carpenter. there was a fashion in the middle of the 20th century toots' treat him as white trash although they did not use that phrase but some contemporaries did. we now recognize that thomas lincoln never went broke, he served on several juries and also the trustee of a baptist church where the lincoln family worshipped. he sent his two children children, sarah and abraha

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. adams and franklin in particular made very substantial contributions to the draft, and then congress got the draft anded edited it by 25%. beyond that, the declaration itself, the fact there was a declaration to declare, is really thanks to john adams. thomas jefferson was really the draftsman. john adams was the politician turning the wheels, along with his colleague, richard henry lee. let me show you a quick picture here. these are the men who haven't gotten enough credit for the declaration, and above all john ada
