Mezzotint is a technique of engraving areas of tone rather than lines. In this method, the entire surface of the plate is roughened by a spiked tool called a rocker so that, if inked at that point, the entire plate would print in solid black. ....................Hope we can be friends :)
He’s saying the role of president makes that person a better person and makes them have more responsibility then before but no matter how prepared people thought they were they could not possibly be ready to become president.
The Great Compromise was a compromise between the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan.
The New Jersey Plan, basically, was for each state to get an equal vote in Congress, while the Virginia Plan, again, briefly, was for each state to get a vote proportional to the amount of citizens living in their state.
The Great Compromise solved the concerns that the large and small states had, of not getting enough power in Congress. They compromised, and created the House of Representatives, following the Virginia Plan, and created the Senate, which is above the House of Representatives, following the New Jersey Plan.
According to Jefferson himself, you could divide man in two kinds:
1) Those who did not trust people or feared them. Those people, supposedly, wished to prevent them from having powers by giving that power to a specific class that would hold the responsibility of watching over the people and the nation.
2) Those who are confident in the people and their individual liberties and consider them mostly honest and good people. In that case, there would be no need to give great powers to a higher class. In fact, that would be counterproductive to their ideals.
You will find those two lines of thinking in pretty much every country and every culture. They are considered often as Left or Right, Progressive or Conservative, Liberal or Socialist and so on.
That showed up quickly in the USA since when the Whigs party emerged, it did as opposition to the Democrat Party. Showing an early duality from the beginning of the American Democracy. And even if you have a multiparty system like other countries, you can easily find them dividing generally in two sides that internally agree with MOST issues but disagree fundamentally in many with the opposition.
