Abstract
As he aged, Washington improved on the slavery issue, and so did Franklin; Jefferson and Madison decayed. As a constitutionalist, Jefferson's decidedly mixed record was far less impressive than that of Washington, Hamilton, and Chief Justice John Marshall - who was in fact Jefferson's second cousin once removed. Of course, Congress kept much of Jefferson's draft prose, but as Richard Henry Lee, his fellow signer and fellow Virginian, pointedly noted, Jefferson had lifted some of his best lines straight from English philosopher John Locke.
