Question

Rationalism

do you think either Patrick Henry or Thomas Jefferson would be considered a rationalist? can you explain why?

Answer 1

I assume you've read some of Henry's and Jefferson's writings.

These sites may help you understand rationalism so that you can apply those principles to their writing.
