Detailed explanation-1: -There was a kind of selflessness about Jefferson’s leadership: quiet voice, understated arguments, no drama, and almost excessive willingness to hear from everyone else and seek consensus.
Detailed explanation-2: -The biography for President Jefferson and past presidents is courtesy of the White House Historical Association. Thomas Jefferson, a spokesman for democracy, was an American Founding Father, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and the third President of the United States (1801–1809).
Detailed explanation-3: -Few understand what was going on in his private life. He suffered more distressing personal trials than many of us have.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thomas Jefferson was a strong supporter of allowing all people: the common man, the wealthy, and even slaves to be treated equally. He wrote the Declaration of Independence, fought for a U.S. Bill of Rights, and advocated for an amendment to end slavery.
