Thomas Jefferson’s letter of December 20, 1787, stands as one of the founding documents of American liberty. It transformed the Constitution’s silence on individual rights into a national conversation — one that would culminate two years later in the adoption of the Bill of Rights.
By praising Madison’s work while exposing its dangers, Jefferson did what he always did best: he improved by questioning. He believed that even a noble government must answer to a higher law — the law of human rights.
“A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to… and what no just government should refuse.”
That single sentence, penned in a Paris apartment in the winter of 1787, crossed an ocean and changed the course of American history.
