Answer 2

Colonial Legislator
Jefferson practiced law and served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. In 1774, he wrote A Summary View of the Rights of British America, which was intended as instructions for the Virginia delegates to a national congress. The pamphlet was a powerful argument of American terms for a settlement with Britain. It helped speed the way to independence, and marked Jefferson as one of the most thoughtful patriot spokesmen.


The Second Continental Congress
Jefferson was the primary author of the Declaration of Independence and a contributor to American political and civil culture. The Continental Congress delegated the task of writing the Declaration to a Committee of Five that unanimously solicited Jefferson, considered the best writer, to write the first draft, and in fact wrote all of them.


State legislator
In September 1776, Jefferson returned to Virginia and was elected to the new Virginia House of Delegates. During his term in the House, Jefferson set out to reform and update Virginia's system of laws to reflect its new status as a democratic state. He drafted 126 bills in three years, including laws to abolish primogeniture, establish freedom of religion, and streamline the judicial system. In 1778, Jefferson's "Bill for the More General Diffusion of Knowledge" led to several academic reforms at his alma mater, including an elective system of study — the first in an American university.

Answer 3

Jefferson was for individualism. He wanted government as small as possible. He was against direct taxation, a central Bank (like our federal reserve), against welfare, against alliances with Europe that could draw us into war. He was for property rights, personal freedom, States rights, the Constitution, he believed in God but affiliated with no church.

Basically he was against most of what our government has become. In fact he said to keep government small and the people free there may need to be a revolution every generation or so, and not a bloodless one.
