jan 30, 1787 - Letter to James Maddison (Paris)
Description:
- Eastern States
- Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable…
1. Without government, as among our Indians.
2. Under governments wherein the will of every one has a just influence, as is the case in England in a slight degree, and in our states, in a great one.
3. Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in most of the other republics.
- “A little rebellion now and then is a good thing…”
- Mississippi as the border between East and West
- Adams as vain, irritable, a hypocrite, and loveable…
- Discusses his friendship with Lafayette
- Jefferson basically just describes whom he likes and dislikes…
