Thomas Jefferson — author of the Declaration of Independence, diplomat and president of the United States — is the most widely studied and genuinely representative Founding Father of his age. Bassani surveys Jefferson’s views on the rights of man and state’s rights — the core of all his political ideas. After careful examination of his political theory, Jefferson is recognized as a champion of limited government, natural rights and antagonism of the states towards interference by federal powers.
