“Educate and inform the whole mass of the people. Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them… They are the only [ones to rely on] for the preservation of our liberty.”
Jefferson believed that students should learn about the government, how it works, our nation’s history, and the Constitution. If they are well educated about their rights and responsibilities, they will do a good job protecting them.
Because of this, Jefferson supported public schools.

Jefferson tries to reassure the Federalists...
Even though we are a majority
now, I will not treat the Federalists
harshly. Every American, even the
minority, posses their equal rights
“which equal laws must protect.”
In a way, “we are all Republicans,
we are all Federalists.” We are all
part of this national government
chosen by the people. Can’t we all
just get along?

Thomas Jefferson had different ideas for the economy than the ones put in place by Alexander Hamilton. He wanted a smaller government with less taxes and less workers.
Less… means more...
Less government, more freedom.
Less government, more money in the citizen’s pocket instead of in the treasury for the government
to spend.

New Economic Policies
The idea of Laissez Faire economic policies are to “let alone” or leave businesses and trade to regulate and control themselves as much as possible. Don’t put tons of government regulations on businesses. Don’t try to control the natural cycle of supply and demand in the economy.

I would like to cut the
federal budget to make
the government smaller
and taxes lower.
We’ll find ways to cut the budget by eliminating
jobs in the government. We will cut the waste and
unnecessary spending as well. This will help keep the
budget balanced and low. But Mr. Jefferson, I
think we should keep the Bank of the U.S.

An Important Precedent
Pg.305
Even though I got what I wanted
I think that this gives the Judicial
Branch too much power. They are
more powerful than Congress and
the President!
Supreme Court
John Marshall’s decision was the first time the Supreme Court reviewed a law and declared part of it unconstitutional. This created the power of Judicial Review.
“The opinion which gives to the
judges the right to decide what
laws are constitutional and
what not, not only for
themselves … but for the
Legislature and Executive also
… would make the Judiciary a
[tyrannical] branch”
