The Legacy of Thomas Jefferson

Judge Robert Bork thinks that if Jefferson’s principles had prevailed, they would have destroyed the U.S.—and in this provocative program he explains his opinion. Bork, Professor of History James Oliver Horton, and Peter Onuf examine whether Thomas Jefferson was a champion of liberty or a dangerous radical, and how this very principled man could not always achieve what his principles dictated. Onuf believes that national self-determination, nation-making, and the independence of states are the great legacy of the American Revolution and of Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence. (26 minutes)
