While I would agree that Mr. Jefferson's "wall" has been misinterpreted, it is just not true that because he was in France, Mr. Jefferson uninvolved with our Bill of Rights.

A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse. --- Thomas Jefferson December 20, 1787

Google Jefferson Bill of Rights and see what you find.

Certainly you don’t imagine that old Tom believed the American federal Bill of Rights applied to all levels of government here or to any level of government in other countries.

Sure, he preferred such protections at the state level and fought for such locally in VA, but he did not see the federal bill doing that.
