embargos were safer and more effective means of coercion if necessary. Jefferson did hold that
the representation of the people was the central political value of American Democracy (a). He
maintained that separation of church and state (b) was the best way to keep the government free
from religious disagreements and reciprocally to keep religion free from interference or
corruption by the government. Jefferson believed the federal government must not violate
individual states' rights (c) as he wrote in the Kentucky Resolutions and James Madison wrote in
the Virginia Resolutions, both in 1798.
