Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States. If you could go back in time, what question would you ask him?

I think I'd ask if I could work with him on his garden and estate for the spring and summer. He was an amazing gardener who took careful notes about the plants he grew. It would be so cool to learn from the man himself, to find out what he was thinking when he selected each plant and set them out!

Since he was strapped for cash a lot, he'd probably take me up on the offer, and in the course of six months, there would be a lot of other questions I could ask...I'd like to ask him about Hamilton, and the construction of Monticello, and exactly what he meant about the banks, and.

Mr. Jefferson, you are one of the nation's most popular and respected presidents, and one of the most recognized figures in contemporary history. Your platforms, quotes, and ideas are claimed by many groups - especially religious groups. Having said this, how do you identify your religious affiliation?

Perhaps it is unthinkable to publicly acknowledge being an atheist at this time, but if I can guarantee that the answer will never leave this room, which with group that claim your membership do you feel you best fit? " * Anglican (Episcopalian) * Deist (as a loose definition, not an organized movement) * Unitarian (even though there are no Unitarian churches in Virginia yet) * atheist * casual Christian * non-affiliated but vaguely spiritual.

Thomas Jefferson was right on target when he said, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground. " – Thomas Jefferson If I could ask him one question I would ask him how America could go back to the Constitution of our country without physically having a revolution. One of my other favorite quotes from Jefferson is, "A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.

This is the sum of good government.

Considering changes that have taken place in American life since you first pushed for the Bill of Rights, what changes would you have made to it to reflect the realities of the 21st century (gun laws, religion and state, free speech, etc. ).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
