Jefferson created what is called the Jefferson Bible[0], it is the story of new testament without any magic or superstition. It primarily consists of the words of Jesus and his moral teachings over his worldly actions. I think it's best to read Jefferson in a similar way. As a paragon of virtue Jefferson fails, but he has some wisdom to share on the nature and design of large scale human organizations. I don't think Jefferson would've wanted to look over the New York City Council anyway, he's probably much more at home in a library or museum.
