Abstract
Historian Peter Onuf talks about Thomas Jefferson's decision to allow the national capital to be located in Washington D.C. Professor Onuf explains that Jefferson agreed on Washington D.C., because he thought that the power of the federal government would be more limited in that location than it would be in Philadelphia or New York. Later in his life, Jefferson came to believe that he was misled and that the decision was an enormous political error on his part.
