Abstract
Hamilton's fears about the influence of French Enlightenment philosophy on Jefferson and Madison were not ungrounded. Certainly Jefferson's views were significantly shaped by the French authors whom he read and associated with during his ministerial stint in Paris. In the 1780s and 1790s Madison too was a keen scholar of French social and political thought, studying the more radical thought of Turgot, Condorcet, and the physiocrats, as well as the more moderate philosophy of the celebrated oracle, the Baron de Montesquieu.
