and then thomas jefferson. washington was the first president of the united states. jefferson was the third. where is president number two? john adams. he is not there. that was a mistake of mr. bent. here is the original letter written by john adams, complaining about the omission. when he received it, he was horrified to find that his portrait was missing from the print. therefore he returned it along i amthis letter, saying returning this. please do not send another copy. in 1823, perhaps most important facsimile reproduction of the declaration of independence was issued. this is the so-called stone broadside. this print was actually taken directly from the original manuscript that is now on display at the national archives. if you have seen the original, it is quite faded. the reason it is faded was because of the treatment when it was prepared. it was dampened and pressed against the metal plate to transfer some of the ink from the original to the plate. unfortunately, it damaged the original. this print is a true, exact facsimile of the original. a very importan

my contention in my new book is, thomas jefferson was more than that. he was the most significant, radical statesmen and american history. he was a very significant legislator. a book takes up the topic of jefferson is legislator and develops in five chapters on major themes in his statesmanship. this contention of his radical lists and success. what i mean in college jefferson a radical? well, start with the truism among historians, duke stone Émigre. another way to understand that is, if you are born princess of england and you expect to become the queen you're not up to decide i would rather own a pizza restaurant in australia. jefferson, on the other hand, did something that was the latter. when thomas jefferson was born in 1743 in albemarle county, virginia in the piedmont and the western boundary of euro-american expansion into north america, he was born, more or less, a prince. his father was by far the most important influential man in his county. peter jefferson, of whom thomas was very proud throughout his life, had authority in his county that

thomas jefferson was a randolph, john marshall was a randolph and at one point went edmund randolph was governor there was a lieutenant governor was another randolph. jefferson's idea here was not only that the feudal land tenure ship should be landholding to be broken up so that we'd say now the market would allow for broader dispersion of landholdings but he also proposed in his draft constitution for virginia in 1776 that if you are a virginia man and you did not own 50 acres of land, you'd be given 50 acres of land. virginia was a huge open space extending all the way to wisconsin. why not make everybody a small farmer by giving everybody a small farm. we have all this land? this is all a way of avoiding the question because we don't know the answer. it's weird, really, when you think about it. if someone had been born in a situation and decided has there ever been a monarch, george washington's the closest thing, someone who decided i can have supreme executive authority but i don't want to. so many like george washington decides i will retire establishes this very important princi

thomas jefferson was born here april 13, 1743. his father had moved out here to the west to get land, and his father was a surveyor who can actually co-authored in 1751, peter jefferson co-authored what was the official new map of virginia, which at that time it was nothing like it. it was the best map of virginia. so little tommy was raised on stories by this man who would go out and explore and make maps and discover. if you think about it, peter jefferson was using scientific experiments to make the unknown known, to create maps of what was to them wilderness, and to carve out of this unknown backcountry a beautiful image of a map. it's very poetic. it's a metaphor for jeffersons mind to come of this guy who is constantly learning, had combined the idea of science and knowledge with discovery. >> so we're heading to the top of the hill now. >> we are climbing monticello. one time this was over 2000 acres in thomas jeffersons estate. and where we're going to go is the highest point on that former estate which jefferson called mou

monticello was really thomas jefferson's home for his entire life. he's born on this plantation, just three miles away from where he builds this home. he inherits this plantation from his father. his father dies with jefferson's 14. as a young man, he will inherit this land as well as the slaves that his father owned, and jefferson is going to decide to build up here on this mountaintop at a very young age. his is jefferson's home entire life. jefferson is trying to use that .lantation to make money like most virginia plantation owners, he has cash crops, primarily tobacco and later in his life, wheat. he has mixed success in turning a profit off of this plantation, but here on this mountaintop, this is also the center of his home life as well. retirement years, once the house is complete, this home is filled with his family .embers his daughter and her husband move into this home, so this would have been a home filled with his family members as well as guest. throughout jefferson's retirement years, as a very public official and as somebody for not o

this is a thomas jefferson letter that he wrote in response to a constituent i guess. i can't remember. i think he was president at the time. the letter was passed on i believe to a descendent in the family and those family members tried to keep the letter together over the years and use different kinds of tape to put the letter back together as it fell apart from handling and being folded and being opened and folded so there are different campaigns of tape here and here and then these orange spot were also taped. when the letter came to us, it was framed and it had been on display for many years so there was a lot of light damage that was also causing problems advancing the staining of the residual adhesive from the tape and also making the paper very brittle. now, you need to remove adhesives and paper that's causing damage. the difficulty in this case is the paper had degraded so much from the tape from being on display at working with it even as you are removing the tape and paving it to take out the acidic degradation product in the paper, the paper starts to fall

we take you to the special collections library to learn more about the thomas jefferson papers. >> jefferson is the founder of uva. he worked many years to develop the system of education in virginia. uva was his last great project. he did it after he left the white house. he designed the buildings and the curriculum. he was the first chair of the board of visitors. he was intimately involved as you will see in a lot of details about building the buildings. his vision is called an academic village. if you look at his plans for the university, at the time a lot of universities consisted of one very big building for classes were held and there were dormitory rooms. jefferson's idea was to make a village out of it, with students living here the professors and classes being given in the professors homes. there was constant interaction of students and faculty. it's in charlottesville, and in the 1820's there was a small town, a village really. if you think about these amazing buildings that went up in the early 1820's in the middle of nowhere, it was part of his ideal of the united states as an a

thomas jefferson probably the most intellectually sophisticated. the most resonant in both senses, meaning he is the greatest and the most lyrical, the author of the most famous words in american history, we hold these truths to be self-evident, and also the most racist and the most explicitly so racist and the most duplicitous. none of the political shenanigans that we're watching in our world today would at all surprise jefferson. james madison. the most politically shrewd, the guy who makes things happen on the ground. if god were in the details, madison would be there to greet him upon arrival. he is the lawyer's founder, and he thinks like a lawyer, but he was not trained to a lawyer. you tell me what my client is, who he is, and i will prepare the case. jefferson would tell him who the client, is and the tandem of jefferson and madison is the single most important partnership in the founding era. finally, alexander hamilton. hamton is probably the smartest. he's the prod ji and he would have gotten the highest grade on the lsats, and he's als

his son, thomas jefferson, was very different. indeed, all the revolutionaries knew things their fathers did not know, and they were eager to prove themselves in what they believed and valued by their disinterestedness, by their virtue. but there was one prominent revolutionary leader who did not seek to play this role that the others did. now, on the face of it, aaron burr had all the credentials of being a great founder. he was a revolutionary war veteran, a princeton graduate, and a charming and wealthy aristocrat. he eventually became a senator from new york and vice president of the united states, the third, and his predecessors were john adams and thomas jefferson. he was well on his way to a great career, but something set him apart, set his character apart from his colleagues. he inherited his claim to leadership. he was a real aristocrat, if you will. john adams said that he had never known in any country the prejudice in favor of birth, parentage and dissent more conspicuous than in the instance of colonel burr. burr was

is interesting is america and france have those ideas and for example, benjamin franklin and thomas jefferson were ambassadors to the united states and france mingling in the circles of the french enlightenment and assorted others like james madison but the revolution succeeded the french revolution in 1776 in 1789 and it was a great model events of america and france have taken different paths, they have a common origin born of universal ideas inequalities and human rights. human rights. >> let's hear from kathy. >> caller: i would like to ask where did his ideas come from and do you think that it's because you grew up in france as a prosecutor in the united states or the idea that you are familiar with the areas in france and they do not get so upset about healthcare so it is unique. how did you come up with -- where did your ideas come from? >> guest: doubled up my book is based on history, law, politics, economy. now and then i add my own personahad my ownpersonal expera and europe but all of this is based on the qualitative and quantitative evidence and data. >> host: we are talking with

that thoroughly pleased thomas jefferson. hamilton had much clearer vision of where the world was going. i'm not sure jefferson ever read the wealth of nations, which hamilton certainly did. carol: but he certainly did borrow from, that is he read, of how britain had risen to power through the creation of a public debt. he was more than willing to borrow those ideas. i don't dig it was because he wanted to be britain, it was because he wanted to best britain. john: i think he looked at britain as the most successful model of all the european countries. britain was a far better governed place than say, prerevolutionary france. the people, their rights for -- their rights were much more protected in britain. liberty was born in britain. jefferson loved france, loved paris. he always thought, what napoleon said of britain, a nation of shopkeepers. i think jefferson had that opinion, and as a consequence looked down on them. akhil: we think of the idea of monarchy is having at least two dimensions. one is the dynastic idea, and yo

thomas jefferson said he should come back and run for governor of virginia and she said it's a great idea but he could never handle. she called it the torrent of abuses that he would experience in public life. he's due expensive and basic politics is the last thing he should do but he did it anyway because of how deeply he felt the need to address the problems. it has to be somebody i might as well do it. it was this conviction of power and then it grew so many other people and he figured it out as what the rest of them had a gun and he was throwing himself under the ring to figure out the solutions were it. the presidency came out of it as a kind of chain of succession and the relationships that he had and the fact he shifted into the executive and if they were more on display so it was hard for him to give confidence to the nation during the war of 1812 and he was criticized for that and that's one of the things you saw in the staffing decisions and the one involved in prosecuting the war, the signals and the images he presented that's one of the reasons hi this image suffered r th

his good friend and mentor thomas jefferson and james madison were both involved in setting up the plantation prior to his moving here in 1799. late in the year in 1799 buried james monroe, unlike the other local presidents, did not grow up in this area. monroe himself is from west moreland county out east. he was born in 1758 and moved here from fredericksburg where he settled with his young wife just after their marriage. the property is now on the grounds of the university of virginia. they call it monro hill. this property became available and he saw it as being closer to jefferson, being a larger tract of land and hopefully more productive. inpurchased the property 1790 three and moved in in 1799. by the late 18 teens, he had his property oak hill in loudoun county. was closer to washington. he wants down more frequently. he veryis presidency, likely traveled with his wife. sometimes his elder daughter also accompanied them. was an important person to monro. a confidant and secretary sometimes. his family would come. enslavede certainly people during monroe's lifetime. he claimed ownersh

that was done initially, and then thomas jefferson thought that it was too much like the speech of the king from the throne. he thought this was an unfortunate federalist left over. it was woodrow wilson in 1913 time in morefirst than a century, reintroduced the idea of appearing before congress and delivering the state of the union address. on your first point, yes, wilson not only fought for supreme justice hece, the fought for was louis brandeis. brandeis was an important theorotician for wilson's new freedom. it provided the basic philosophy for wilson's economic programs. later, it had a considerable influence on that wing of new deal thoughts in the 1930's. he was able, after a bitter fight, to gain confirmation of brandeis to court. mr. holzer: you say in the book that the day of giants past for while with the invent of harvard, coolidge, but you had fascinating things to say about harding. he deservesd that credit, and has not received it, for being pro-civil liberties. he was anti-lynching. florence harding, who has a reputation, was actually an enlightened first lady. what mo

in terms of thomas jefferson, you know, when you're reading jefferson, he's so complicated, so complex and, you know, he sometimes seems as though he's writing with an eye to history and he's writing as if he doesn't really want us to know him. the other person who seems so complex is ben franklin. so could you share with us on these two, what pops out to you when you read jefferson? and i think you -- i read in one of your books when you were talking about ben franklin might be one of the most complicated and complex of the founders. >> yeah. franklin, of course, is world famous. he was by far the most famous american in the 18th century. you have to think of it -- you know, he made major original contributions to science, pure science on electricity and if there had been a nobel prize in the 18th century, he might have been a contender. so it's not that kind -- he's not a tinker. he's not an early version of thomas edison. he's a real scientist. the fact that he was an american stunned the world. they thought of america as a bunch of mongrel people who were hardly capable of any kind
