and in effect using ol Toms musings as an authoritive statement on constitutional property rights; --
-- is really bizarre thinking.

"Bizarre"???

Do you think Jefferson had no input in the formulation of our Constitution?

He was in France at the time, and pretty much kept abreast of things by communicating with Madison. He wasn't at any of the Constitutional Convention meetings. Unless his letters from Paris significantly influenced others and caused things to happen through those actors (which is a premise I'm willing to consider should anyone provide the proof but I'm highly skeptical), then I'd say he didn't have much influence.

So, while he didn't have "no" input, I'd say his influence was minimal.

Jeffersons musings on how indians viewed property are from 1812.

Your using them as 'imput' is bizarre.
