He produced a design for the U. S. Capitol that was based on Roman temples. Thomas Jefferson was the primary draftsman of the Declaration of Independence of the United States and the nation's first secretary of state (1789-94), its second vice president (1797-1801), and, as the third president (1801-09), the statesman responsible for the Louisiana Purchase.
