Description



Book Synopsis



A Major Influence in Kentucky Life

Founding Father Thomas Jefferson had a strong but little-known connection with the constitution of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He had personal and politically motivated influence on the 1792 charter and secretly wrote some controversial state resolutions. Author Denis Fleming draws on firsthand accounts from Jefferson, John Breckinridge and the rarely used papers of George Nicholas, the brain behind Kentucky's first constitution, to uncover a huge influence from these men. He also demonstrates that modern reforms in job creation, education and the structure of government are rooted in parts of the document favored by Jefferson but dramatically interpreted by today's governors, legislators and judges.



Review Quotes




"Thomas Jefferson and the Kentucky Constitution is a timely book. Contemplating Jefferson's suggestions enriches current discourse and provides an excellent reason to read Denis Fleming's new book." - Gene Procknow, Researching the American Revolution
