Thomas Jefferson did live up to his own political ideals, with the exception of a few key events. ... Although Jefferson was a strong supporter strict constructionism, some of his presidential choices do not reflect these ideals. One of the most well known and controversial deals ever made would be the Louisiana Purchase. I don't know:( but hopefully this paragraph helps!
His overriding goal as president was the promotion of political democracy and the physical expansion of the country to provide land for a nation of citizen -farmers.
As the third president of the United States, Jefferson stabilized the U.S. economy and defeated pirates from North Africa during the Barbary War. He was responsible for doubling the size of the United States by successfully brokering the Louisiana Purchase. He also founded the University of Virginia.
