The People v. Jefferson
- You have been appointed as a law
clerk to begin the difficult task of defending Thomas Jefferson
in his suit with the A.T.J.S. of A. (Anti-Thomas Jefferson Society
of America).
- Before you begin, review the charges
made by the A.T.J.S. of A.
- You will need to gather as much
evidence as you can to show that the claims of the A.T.J.S. of
A. are unfounded and malicious.
- You will need to find examples in letters he
wrote, his actions, and communications that will exonerate Thomas
Jefferson of the charges leveled against him.

At stake is Jefferson's estate, reputation,
and political future as a leader in the United States.
|
| It is imperative when you find evidence to support
Jefferson that you write it down as close to word-for-word as possible.
The following sources will provide some assistance
in your efforts to gather favorable evidence. There will also be
a few sources present that WILL NOT paint such a positive view of
Jefferson. However, for you to defend him, you will also need to
see arguments that the opposition will present in the case against
Jefferson.
Here is a list of the sources. You
will determine the usefulness of each.
