Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), Third President of the U.S.A.
Known affectionately as the “Prexies,” the 1938 Presidential series is a favorite among stamp collectors.
Although Thomas Jefferson is best known for writing the Declaration of Independence, he was also instrumental in establishing the Bill of Rights. Upon seeing the first draft of the Constitution, he objected to the lack of a bill of rights and wrote to James Madison, urging one. As a result, Madison introduced the first ten amendments to the Constitution The Bill of Rights.
