As we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence (独立宣言).He wrote it in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accepted by the Congress.As a result,he became famous in America's history.
Born in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a brilliant student at school and almost talented lawyer later,was much interested in politics.
Jefferson was elected Governor of Virginia in 1779,and he was sent to France as the Representative of the American Government in 1784.Sixteen years later,at the age of 57,he was elected president after Washington and Adams.
Far from a handsome man,he was tall with long arms and big hands.Jefferson,who was an amusing talker in conversation,but a poor speaker,was generally good-natured.
Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom of America. As a president, he protected the right of speech. Interestingly enough,in his eight years as president, Jefferson never said “No” to a bill(议案) which the Congress had passed.He did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia.
