I believe Jefferson's behavior as president affected future presidents in different ways. Jefferson led the country with a modest attitude not wanting to show off his power. This could show how he wanted to connect with his citizens' way of life including the farmers and countrymen. Jefferson also showed he wanted to try to stay focused on his country and the problems they were facing within. He did not want to get involved the problems of other countries. However, this proved to be difficult to do, and it showed future leaders that they would have to know how to deal with their foreign counterparts. His presidency taught future presidents about connecting to the people and interpreting the Constitution strictly. Leaders could look at the good from the Jefferson era and continue to build on that while also learning from his mistakes with foreign countries and Native American groups.
