Thomas Jefferson’s Constitutional System: Bad Law; Good Economics

M. L. Burstein

Chapter Chapter Three in Understanding Thomas Jefferson, 1993, pp 97-135 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Should obscure transactions with divine entities or fictions about barbarian liberty bottom political theory? The political philosophies of Hobbes, Filmer, Locke, et al. seem untenable. And I prefer David Hume’s calm “scepticism,” leading to his empirical political theory, to Sir Edward Coke’s Whiggish myths, enshrined by Lord Macaulay.
