Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Jefferson says “every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle.” He compares “difference of opinion” and “difference of principle, ” reminding his audience that they may have one without the other. They may differ in their opinion but that does not mean that their principles are different.
