Jefferson believed the nation's strength lay with its agriculture and yeoman farmers. He favored a rural nation with greater rights for the states. He was adamantly against a strong, central government and believed that the people had the final authority in government. Jefferson also encouraged support for the French Revolution

Thomas Jefferson was a farmer who did not particularly favor a large federal government, as the United States had just fought a war to throw off a large government. His vision for the future of the United States was that of an agrarian republic in which states and localities held most of the power, and the federal government remained small, with limited powers.

Lenin wanted a society in which the land and factories are owned by?

At first, Lenin wanted a society where the factories and land would be owned by a central government, i.e., socialism. Eventually the factories would not so much be "owned" by anyone; they would just be operated by the workers and peasant farmers of the proletariat according to the philosophies of Karl Marx on how true communism would be in the future. That would not yet be possible until after a period of socialism where a strong government would own the factories and land until such time as the people stopped working for individual profit and began working for the common good of the society as a whole.

How can questioning society change the future?

If we question our expectations of society and expect more from our government the possibilities are endless. I feel that we are such a silent population nothing in comparison to what our parents and grandparents did during the civil rights movement of the 60s. We as a society need to demand more from our government and from each other. Until we question our surroundings, society and government there will be no dramatic change.
