He was a draftsman of the United States Declaration of Independence; the nation’s first secretary of the state from (1789-1794); Second Vice President from (1797-1801); and, as the Third President from (1801-1809), the statesman responsible for the Louisiana Purchase. His father had been among the earliest settlers in this wilderness country, and his position of Leadership transferred to his oldest son, along with five thousand acres of land.

This is one of the ways Jefferson knows his family. In 1801 Jefferson asks Lewis to be his personal secretary, which Lewis accepts and moves to the President’s residence. Jefferson has been President of the United States for over a year anticipating the westward expansion of America. Jefferson finally gets his wish when the United Stated buys the Louisiana territory from France. This purchase doubles the geographic size of America.

His more famous name, Publicola, meant ‘friend of the people’,” [5] By April 1788 the men had published seventy-seven of The Federalist essays. All three authors drew on their experiences in national politics and the military. The two main authors, Hamilton and Madison, were a key part of the activities leading to the Federal Convention and the drafting of the Constitution. In fact all three of these men went on to great things. James Madison became the fourth President of the United States and is considered the father of the Constitution; Alexander Hamilton was part of George Washington’s cabinet as the first Secretary of the Treasury, in this position he formed economic policy for the United States that is still used today; and John Jay was
Assess the Political Career of Lord Palmerstone Henry John Temple, later know as Lord Palmerstone, held numerous positions within the British Government before rising to become Prime Minister twice between 1855-1858 and 1859-1865. He was a typical politician of the time being educated at Harrow and then Cambridge. He became an MP aged 20 in 1806 and 3 years later was offered the position, Secretary of War. He originally stood for the Conservatives but switched his allegiances to the Whig party and, later, oversaw the transition from the Whig too the Liberal party at the turn of the century. Many historians consider Lord Palmerstone to be influential in his dealings with foreign powers, both as Foreign Secretary as well as Prime Minister and greatly favoured the controversial Liberal Interventionist policies, in which Britain helps although does not get directly involved, for example, the sending of arms to the King of Sicily in order that they could protect themselves from the Austrians.
His two-term presidency marked him a great politician as he balanced the budget, ended the Korean War, and signed the Civil Rights Bill of 1957, and the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956. To achieve such success, he transformed from a martial national hero to a politician in the twentieth century. Through nearly thirty years as a prominent national figure, Eisenhower demonstrated himself a success by “good sense, good will, and perceived moral character.” This is his story. Rising from relatively ordinary origins, Dwight D. Eisenhower, the third child of the family, encouraged his business thinking in his
Essentially, his teachers made him a lifelong learner. From that point on, Paul Revere had a well disciplined, curious young mind which helped him always be ready to learn. In fact, he said that his teachers made him "love his books". Sadly, that was the last of his formal schooling. That does not mean that he ever stopped learning (Fischer 9).
Since then the Fourth of July has had several peculiar recognitions. The two most distinguished men in the framing and support of the Declaration were Thomas Jefferson and John Adams -- the one having penned it and the other sustained it the most forcibly in debate -- the only two of the fifty-five who sustained it being elected President of the United States. Precisely fifty years after they put their hands to the paper it pleased Almighty God to take both from the stage of action. This was indeed an extraordinary and remarkable event in our history. Another President, five years after, was called from this stage of existence on the same day and month of the year; and now, on this last Fourth of July just passed, when we have a gigantic Rebellion, at the bottom of which is an effort to
