Jefferson's Notes on the State of Virginia blended Biblical language with Enlightenment science to influence American political thought. In this thorough analysis of the Notes, backed up by Jefferson's personal correspondence, the authors argue that the work was intended for a wide audience and to shape constitutional debate in the critical 1780s.
