bipartisanship

=Bipartisanship=

Definition: Bipartisanship can be defined as "including members from two parties or factions."

Explanation: Bipartisanship connects to Jefferson because it reflects one of his primary goals of his administration. He understood the need for Republicans like he who were in power to reach "across the aisle" to his Federalist counterparts. This was one of the major goals of his administration.

I think that a film that would represent bipartisanship and Jefferson's connection to it would be "The American President." It would represent this because Jefferson tried to be the President for all America. Click here for a scene that Jefferson would like because it speaks for the nation of "America" and not simply political parties.

Mr. Kannan- Periods 6/7 Please add any comments below that are appropriate. I liked the picture, but it looks like the one on the right has his eyes closed... But I still like it and understand why it relates to bipartisanship. - Clare (Julie and Megan)
