I would say that his greatest contribution to the nation was something that was against everything he stood for, the Louisiana Purchase. The Constitution says absolutely nothing about buying land, but Jefferson knew that it was in the best interest of the nation to buy the Louisiana Territory from the French because the Mississippi River was a vital passageway. Jefferson's bipartisanship in this matter is an example that all politicians should learn from, especially in these divisive times.
