If you think about, the governor has always been barred from consecutive terms; gun rights have been relatively strong in virginia (although everyone knows not to arm me so the legislated restrictions as well as the over-armed cops are ridiculous and elitist); the budget has usually been balanced (although taxes are little high especially given that the legislature has been stripped by the u.s.g. of bankruptcy and tender power); it has always had the death penalty; no governor of Virginia has ever died in office despite about 68 unique ones in the state's history. The 1st non-colonial governor of Virginia and the most evangelical of all the prominent early Americans didn't get the religious reform (i.e., everyone would've been forced to fund the congregation they went to) he wanted; the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom has prevailed instead.
The problem is the absence of detoxification facilities and too much medicaid along with too much gun control (mainly federal funding for police weapons and support for the federal background check system). I hope I get killed by a gun even though I would try to escape as a knee jerk reaction.
Also, Virginia has usually had a relatively weak executive power compared to all other States (partly due to the land cessions to get the Articles of Confederation ratified).
So how well do you think Virginia has upheld "Jeffersonian democracy" as tradition? How could it have better upheld classical liberalism?
