i think that what you say is very true Jefferson didn't follow his words, but his words inspired our system of government that we have this very day.

i loved that you mentioned both sides. i completely agree with you.

I agree that Jefferson had a better insight on human rights.

I chose Thomas Jefferson because though he may have not have lived by his writings his ideas referring to the future of the united states helped use grow.

The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the constitution that brings us the rights that we have today, as we all know, but what you may not know or acknowledge is that Jefferson demanded for The Bill of Rights to be added to the constitution. When Jefferson wrote the Deceleration of Independence, it wasn't required to mention that all men were created equally and have unalienable rights that they hold as a human. you should thank Jefferson for the rights that you have today.

Jefferson had many views regarding the future of our nation like that the government should be split up into 3 branches like we have today. He also believed that the president should have term limits. We may all be aware of the Lewis and Clark expedition, this expedition helped us settle in the new land that was bought by Jefferson. Now you may be thinking what does this have to do with Jefferson, well at this time Jefferson was the president of the U.S. and sent Lewis and Clark on this journey.

Over all I think that Thomas Jefferson had a better vision on the structure of the government though Hamilton had better insight on the economy i feel that even if our country had great economy we would still fall under war without the structure of the government that Jefferson in visioned. This is why my vote goes to Thomas Jefferson!
