As ever, Jefferson worried about Congress. “I know no government which would be so embarrassing in war as ours,” he wrote Madison on March 17, 1809. “This would proceed very much from the lying and licentious character of our papers; but much also from the wonderful credulity of the members of Congress in the floating lies of the day. And in this no experience seems to correct them. I have never seen a Congress during the last 8 years a great majority of which I would not implicitly rely on in any question, could their minds have been purged of all errors of fact.” (Ibid.)
