down in williamsburg.e wrote that in a newspaper just as jefferson sat down to draft the declaration. i do not think there is a question that jefferson used that as a template. said life, liberty, and property. jefferson says life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. but they are on the same wavelength. i think those were the ideas that people in the english reform movement had talked about. enlightened thinkers in europe had been talking about those ideas. they were out there. there is no doubt that mason influenced the way that ,efferson wrote the declaration that second paragraph. i think one of the things i find disturbing is there has been a trend among some historians to dismiss jefferson's contribution with the declaration of independence and say it was not original and the credit he has been given is overblown. thatrson acknowledged there was nothing original. it would have been foolish to try to write something that no one had been talking about. he was attempting to summarize what people had been

williamsburg was aflame with revolutionary sentiment at that point. monroe got caught up in that. he soldiered through the revolution. then he met jefferson. and jefferson became his mentor and his law teacher. monroe remained a satellite of jefferson through the rest of his career. in fact, his career bore an uncanny resemblance to jefferson's, in the sense that each served in the virginia legislature, then h was a governor of virginia, each served in congress, each was a diplomat, including secretary of state for both of them, and each wound up as president of the united states. host: what was he like? john: of the three people that i dealt with, he is the most difficult to get a handle on. he says very little about himself. he wrote memoirs and it must be the worst set of memoirs i think that anyone has ever written. because he says what happened, but does not expand on it. for example, he said i have -- i had dinner with napoleon, and of story. it would have been nice if he had told us something about what napoleon said, what napoleon was like. that is the same feeling you get
