Question
Did Thomas Jefferson live up to his own political ideals of less government and “strict constructionism” during his two terms in the presidency? Discuss whether he did or did not and cite specific examples as evidence. Some say Jefferson led a life of contradictions. When is it acceptable for a president to make a complete turnabout, or compromise, in the ideals they strongly define themselves by? Do you see any examples of this with modern-era presidents in our history? Explain
