Talk:Wawrzyniec Goślicki

Jefferson
The statement about "Jefferson [being] one of the Founding Fathers of the United States Constitution" may, as phrased, be misleading. Jefferson did not participate in the constitutional convention &mdash; he was, at the time, abroad as U.S. ambassador to France. logologist 13:14, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * He is, however, listed as one in the Founding Fathers article. While he might have not participated in the very convention, his influence and contribution was important enough for him to be included among the FFs. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 14:55, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

However Grzymala Goslicki influlence may be seen in declaration of the independence. Some of his phrases (all people are equal; people have right to revolt against king; government rule because of agreement of their subjects) may influence Jefferson. Szopen 17:26, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * This article would be strengthened by the evidence that Jefferson read Goslicki directly, rather than reading someone who had read him. I hope it can be provided. Septentrionalis 18:54, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Jefferson had zero input on the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. He was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, which is the principal reason why Jefferson is counted amongst the Founding Fathers. If you want to show that this man's writing had an influence on the U.S. Constitution, James Madison is the person who needs to be shown to have been influenced by Goślicki, nit Jefferson.

Excommunicated?
According to the article for the Warsaw Confederation, Wawrzyniec Goślicki was excommunicated for signing the acts of the Sejm of 1587. Is it true? If so, then ths should be mentioned and this page added to the List of people excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church. If not, then this should be removed from the article for the Warsaw Confederation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrincodi (talk • contribs) 22:58, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
