where was thomas jefferson when the constitution was written?

Question

i have tryed finding this everywhere but cant find an answer, this is for my homework so i would really appreciate help

Answer 1

Many of the answers listed here are incorrect. Jefferson was the ambassador to France at the time and was living in Paris. It would have been interesting to see how the constitution would have come out if he had been involved.

He was very influencial at the time. If it had been publicly known that they were going to completely redesign the government he might have been involved. At the time it was expected that they would just "fix" the articles of confederation.

Jefferson was the author of the Declaration of Independence, and important document but not one with any actual legal weight.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. The constitution was primarily penned by James Madison. At the time Jefferson was living in France. He received a copy in November of 1787, and wrote to Madison that he believed a Bill of Rights was needed. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Jefferson, though not one of my favorite presidents in history, I am still able to help you out. Jefferson was at the time ambassador to France. Though not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention he did still play a role raising his opinions and writing to Madison on the matter. He authored th Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom which was a basis for the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

Answer 4

Jefferson participated in the Constitutional Convention held in Annapolis, Maryland, in 1787.

The meeting sessions were closed and no minutes of proceedings were kept.

The purpose of this convention was to replace the Articles of Confederation, which established the first government of the United States. The Articles were seriously deficient and the quarreling states too unwilling to cooperate, so the convention instead created the Federal system now in place.

Answer 5

He was a Minister to France from 1785-1789, so he was likely in France. Some of the other answers seem to confuse the Declaration of Independence (1776), which he primarily authored, with the Constitution, which he thought was flawed, because it did not include a Bill of Rights.

Answer 6

I truly do not have any project with it; i do not opt to stay lower than a theocracy anymore than I do a statist authorities. 'A statist equipment—even if of a communist, fascist, Nazi, socialist or “welfare” type—is depending on the . . . authorities’s endless capacity, meaning: on the guideline of brute stress. the alterations between statist structures are in person-friendly words a remember of time and degree; the most is an same. lower than statism, the authorities isn't a policeman, yet a legalized criminal that holds the capacity to apply actual stress in any way and for any purpose it pleases adverse to legally disarmed, defenseless victims.'
