Thomas Jefferson: Aristocracy, Education, Elections And Government
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Jefferson's belief in a natural aristocracy served to influence his views on public education, elections and government in general in a tremendous way. Not only did he champion the cause against simulated aristocracy whereby the wealthy and powerful sought to rule the masses with unyielding restraint, but he earnestly furthered the foundation heretofore laid by Locke: Man is born into natural aristocracy by virtue of being a human being and living amidst the global population. No additional qualifications are necessary for this type of innate nobility, most definitely nothing that implies artificial power as cultivated by self-importance and oppression. The manner by which this belief in natural aristocracy relates to Jefferson's feelings about more traditional forms of aristocracy is such that - even though a member of a higher class himself - he was finely tuned into the cause of the common man.

Which President Most Embodied The Spirit Of The Progressive Movement: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft Or Woodrow Wilson?
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. William Howard Taft may have been credited with the early approach to progressive ideology, however, his predecessor Theodore Roosevelt was not happy with the way Taft was dragging his feet to enact change. Woodrow Wilson, on the other hand, reneged on his 1917 campaign promise to maintain peace within the United States, which ultimately led the public's trust to wane with regard to a sense of unity among its citizens. This is no surprise, considering Wilson not only abandoned his word but he also "led a divided nation to war" (Abrahamson PG). Left to carry the banner of progressive ideology was Roosevelt, a tough and defiant figure who gladly embraced the challenge. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
