    d WHAT WE THINK ABOUT WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THOMAS JEFFERSON Todd Estes Thomas Jefferson is America’s most protean historical figure. His meaning is ever-changing and ever-changeable. And in the years since his death in 1826, his symbolic legacy has varied greatly. Because he was literally present at the creation of the Declaration of Independence that is forever linked with him, so many elements of subsequent American life—good and bad—have always attached to Jefferson as well. For a quarter of a century—as an undergraduate, then a graduate student, and now as a professor of early American his- tory—I have grappled with understanding Jefferson. If I have a pretty good handle on the other prominent founders and can grasp the essence of Washington, Madison, Hamilton, Adams and others (even the famously opaque Franklin), I have never been able to say the same of Jefferson. But at least I am in good company. Jefferson biographer Merrill Peterson, who spent a scholarly lifetime devoted to studying him, noted that of his contemporaries Jefferson was “the hardest to sound to the depths of being,” and conceded, famously, “It is a mortifying confession but he remains for me, finally, an impenetrable man.” This in the preface to a thousand page biography! Pe- terson’s successor as Thomas Jefferson Foundation Professor at Mr. Jefferson’s University of Virginia, Peter S. Onuf, has noted the difficulty of knowing how to think about Jefferson 21 once we sift through the reams of evidence and confesses “as I always do when pressed, that I am ‘deeply conflicted.’”1 The more I read, learn, write, and teach about Jefferson, the more puzzled and conflicted I remain, too.

  • Jefferson's Failed Anti-Slavery Priviso of 1784 and the Nascence of Free Soil Constitutionalism
    MERKEL_FINAL 4/3/2008 9:41:47 AM Jefferson’s Failed Anti-Slavery Proviso of 1784 and the Nascence of Free Soil Constitutionalism William G. Merkel∗ ABSTRACT Despite his severe racism and inextricable personal commit- ments to slavery, Thomas Jefferson made profoundly significant con- tributions to the rise of anti-slavery constitutionalism. This Article examines the narrowly defeated anti-slavery plank in the Territorial Governance Act drafted by Jefferson and ratified by Congress in 1784. The provision would have prohibited slavery in all new states carved out of the western territories ceded to the national government estab- lished under the Articles of Confederation. The Act set out the prin- ciple that new states would be admitted to the Union on equal terms with existing members, and provided the blueprint for the Republi- can Guarantee Clause and prohibitions against titles of nobility in the United States Constitution of 1788. The defeated anti-slavery plank inspired the anti-slavery proviso successfully passed into law with the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. Unlike that Ordinance’s famous anti- slavery clause, Jefferson’s defeated provision would have applied south as well as north of the Ohio River. ∗ Associate Professor of Law, Washburn University; D. Phil., University of Ox- ford, (History); J.D., Columbia University. Thanks to Sarah Barringer Gordon, Thomas Grey, and Larry Kramer for insightful comment and critique at the Yale/Stanford Junior Faculty Forum in June 2006.

    NANZAN REVIEW OF AMERICAN STUDIES Volume 41 (2019): 43-61 The American Bill of Rights at Two Hundred and Thirty Years: How Do We Think About the Bill of Rights in the Twenty-First Century? Paul FINKELMAN ＊ Two hundred and thirty years ago, in 1789, the United States Congress proposed twelve amendments to the new Constitution. By December 1791 ten of them had been ratified1 and they have since been known as the American Bill of Rights. Since its ratification in 1791 the Bill of Rights has been often lauded as one of the great documents of human liberty̶providing for fa ir trials, prohibiting torture and other barbaric treatment of prisoners, guaranteeing freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and preventing the government from arbitrarily arresting people or taking away their life, liberty, or property. While some of the amendments have very little to do with fundamental liberties2 or are seen as ＊ Paul Finkelman is the President and Professor of History of Gratz College, in metropolitan Philadelphia. He received his BA from Syracuse University and his MA and PhD from the University of Chicago. This paper was originally given at Nanzan University, Nagoya, Japan, June 2019. 1. The states did not ratify the first and second proposed amendments. The original First Amendment would have requ ired that eventually there would be one representative for every fifty thousand people in the nation. Had this amendment passed, today the House of Representatives would have about six thousand members. The proposed Second Amendment prohibited any sitting Congress from raising its own salary. Thus, Congress could only raise the salary for future Congresses.
