Following Thomas Jefferson from the drafting of the Declaration of Independence to his retirement in Monticello, Joseph J. Ellis unravels the contradictions of the Jeffersonian character.  He gives us the slaveholding libertarian who was capable of decrying mescegenation while maintaing an intimate relationship with his slave, Sally Hemmings; the enemy of government power who exercisdd it audaciously as president; the visionarty who remained curiously blind to the inconsistencies in his nature.  American Sphinx is a marvel of scholarship, a delight to read, and an essential gloss on the Jefferson

Title: A bit of a prophet
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 15, 2006
Review: Thomas Jefferson was a bit of a schizophrenic to say the least. His ability to act with the most contemptible conduct but to conceal the true character of his behavior from his own perceptions is remarkable. Yet, while it is easy to focus upon the frailties of his enigmatic character, it is worth also looking at some of the profound thoughts that emerged from his reactionary idealism, perfectly unsuitable for the reality of the society of mankind. (Though Washington was the most noble and remarkable of the founding fathers to be sure, Adams had the superior grasp on the nature of man and the relationship of government among the society of man) History if fraught with complex relationships when put together work out to a whole, but a bit more on that later.

Jefferson was a staunch Republican, and as such, unwittingly sowed the seeds for the confederacy time and time again as he elaborated on his ideology. The Republicanism of the day bore little relationship to the republicanism of today except for the fact that then it believed and acted upon the notion that the extreme distribution of power was in the best interest of all. The Republican of today, at least as incarnated in George Bush, bears more the mark of the Federalists of than with a verbal nod to the Republican ideals of extremely limited federal powers of Jefferson's times. Jefferson was wrong and Jefferson was right. John Adams was wrong but more often John Adams was right. Hamilton and the extreme Federalists were probably as dangerous as some suspected, even Adams, but my topic now is Jefferson.

Jefferson was firmly opposed to the formation of a standing army as he was against the formation of a Navy. What brought about his articulating this position was the debate over the Jay treaty as well as the conflict with France toward the end of the century. He never seemed to see France or its revolution for what it really was. He could not admit the tragedy and futility of the excursion into anarchy. He clung to his romantic hope that the French were essentially emancipating themselves into some romantic egalitarian democracy, which as we know today, devolved not only into almost genocidal bloodshed, but a dictatorship set upon conquest ala Napoleon. It is difficult to contrast his unrealistic interpretation of these historic events with some of the more prophetic statements he made. A good look at Jefferson would require more than a quick blog entry, so I will have to settle upon the use of his thought to make one point.

The US Constitution was both intentionally and wisely vague but direct. It laid out the system of government simplistically but avoided the activity of enacting laws or precedent. And, almost exactly according to the recommendations of Adams, who was in France at the time, it established two houses, an executive and an independent judiciary. There was little contention over the establishment of these powers, but there was rancorous debate, even fighting upon the powers of these powers. Jefferson wanted a weak executive, but then he wanted a weak federal government. He was opposed to the two houses of the legislature, but he had little issue with the creation of a judiciary. However, when it came to debating over what the powers of the judiciary were, he stood firmly opposed again to the establishment of judicial review, and for very good reason. Judicial review essentially gives the Supreme Court the power to review the laws enacted by congress against the constitution and the bill of rights or the amendments. In reviewing those laws they were able to strike them down. Jefferson saw in this the end of democracy, and his statements on the issue were prophetic and true. With a body of unelected officials with the power to interpret a concise constitution against laws passed by congress, you essentially witness the death of the republic, ala Iran today. However, without judicial review, the rule of the legislature could denigrate into rule by mob, the tyranny of the masses, especially had there only been one body as Jefferson advocated. So where is the balance? That is not easy to answer, but what is, is that the balance tipped against Jefferson and in favor of the Federalists.

So, in the end, the Supreme Court was granted the right of judicial review and this founding father forsaw the consequences.
