Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 – July 4, 1826) was the third President of the United States (1801–1809), and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776). Jefferson was one of the most influential Founding Fathers, known for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States. Jefferson envisioned America as the force behind a great "Empire of Liberty" that would promote republicanism and counter the imperialism of the British Empire. <a href="https://www.last.f

Quotes

  • The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.
  • Let those flatter, who fear: it is not an American art.
  • All persons shall have full and free liberty of religious opinion; nor shall any be compelled to frequent or maintain any religious institution.
  • No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms [within his own lands].
