Jefferson Was a greater statesman
Every way than. Hamilton. He had q
larger. more scientific mind. and a
,Iotounder patriotism. He was clear.
simple. direct. fOrceful in his eXpOS1-
ions. 1t was through his foresight,
high craftsmanship and true love o.
country that HamiltOn's reVolutlonary.

scheme of revolution by cOnstru1nS

u2dten the cords of oppression upon

1911 of Rights came to the rescue o.
The young Government, and the IN
flexible rule of Interpretation abldeG
