He said that people should think carefully about what they believe, Then prepare to defend them the way that they conceive, Hey, he thought of the branches of the gov, But wait, this all was not enough. There were lots more that he thought up at this time, But I got to say something before I end this rhyme. Dying on July 4, 1826 had marked, The loss of a legacy… Verse 3
