520 3 |a Jefferson´s Notes on the State of Virginia was written as a response to François Barbé-Marbois?s inquiry [that] had touched him deeply (Jefferson xi). Jefferson, after he served as governor of Virginia, spelled out many of his musings vis-à-vis his theory of government, the institutions and infrastructure required by Virginia to flourish, and the appropriate laws for the administration of a society of self-sufficient farmers. It is in this volume that Jefferson first brought to presence several thoughts against slavery. Ironically, as will be explained below, that he was torn between both the world of free slaves and his personal life vis-à-vis Sally Hemings and Monticello. Jefferson?s republicanism was tempered by a sense of gentility. While Franklin above had a more workingman?s approach Jefferson?s enlightenment argued that, the ordinary people most often seen by travelers ? tavern keepers, Valet de place, and positions were the hackneyed rascals of every country? who ?must never be considered when we calculate the national character (Wood 28). I argue, that despite the disparaging rhetoric, at the very least, attention was already being paid to the common person. Despite the resiliency of monarchy, elitism, and gentility, the move to the individual and his inherent human rights was already starting to form.
