	>T. Jefferson's Plan for the University of Virginia--Reading 1
		Although Jefferson's bill for a system of public education was not voted into law by the Virginia legislature, he remained committed to these ideas.
		One provision of the bill was that the expenses of these schools should be borne by the inhabitants of the county, everyone in proportion to his general tax-rate.
		This would throw on wealth the education of the poor; and the justices, being generally of the more wealthy class, were unwilling to incur that burden, and I believe it was not suffered to commence in a single county.

	Wolfe's Lodge - Friends - Jefferson Religious Freedom

		Jefferson symbolically freed the body with the Declaration of Independence, the mind with the University of Virginia, and the soul with the bill on religious freedom.

	Jefferson on Politics & Government: The Bill of Rights
		When our Constitution was first established, it was assumed that the description of specific powers granted to the government would leave no doubt as to what the government could and could not do, and that the absence of powers over the rights of the people would leave those rights protected.
		They insisted on a Bill of Rights that would state in unmistakable terms those rights of the people that must be left inviolate.
		But if such cannot be found, then it is better to establish trials by jury, the right of habeas corpus, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion, in all cases, and to abolish standing armies in time of peace, and monopolies in all cases, than not to do it in any.

		Jefferson begins that letter by saying: "[o]n considering the subject of the clause you wished to have introduced in the inclosed bill, I found it more difficult that I had on first view imagined." It is clear from the SJPL entry of December 1, 1791 that the "inclosed bill" was in fact Jefferson's bill.
		If Jefferson had drafted his bill after April 1791 it very likely would have contained a provision dealing with priority of invention, particularly in view of the fact that he had argued to the board that it had no authority to determine priority of invention under the Act of 1790.
		Jefferson was almost certainly aware of this view, but for the reasons discussed herein it likely was not the controlling factor in his decision to include this provision.
