The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Thomas Jefferson was a Revolutionary Thinker. He indeed received the influence of European philosophers and thinkers from the European Enlightenment such as Voltaire, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jaques Rosseau, and Baron de Montesquiou. But he was not the only founding father that was influenced by them. Other prominent Americans and delegates of the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia, were influenced by the Enlightenment.

Thomas Jefferson was a thinker that had high ideals.

Depends on how you look at it.. They were desperate and had to stop the British from gaining support. But it wasn't confirmed that It was carrying weapons, there were civilians on it so theres good reasoning why they sunk it. The Germans did not let civilian casualties get in their way really as seen with their bombing of cities and use of chemical warfare.
