I agree with Thomas Jefferson’s idea for a a few reasons. One being the idea that Americans should have the right to prevent the government from interfering with the civil rights of Americans. Those civil liberties including freedom of religion, speech, entertainment, etc. He believed these should be sacred and optional to everybody. If the government had a small central government, the general public would be able to have more control, and did many things for our nation. Such as reducing the size of the government by ending internal taxes, and reducing the size of the army and navy.
