He introduced legislation in 1769 allowing masters to take control over the emancipation of slaves, taking discretion away from the royal governor and General Court. He persuaded his cousin Richard Bland to spearhead the legislation's passage, but reaction was strongly negative.[27] J◎efferson took seven cases for freedom-seeking slaves[28] and waived his fee for one client, who claimed that he should be freed before ◎the statutory age of thirty-one required for emancipation in cases with inter-racial grandparents.[29] He invoked the Natural Law to argue, "everyone comes into the world with a right to his own person and using it at his own will ... This is what is called personal liberty, and is given him by the author of nature, because it is necessary for his own sustenance." The judge cut him off and ruled against his client. As a consolation, Jefferson gave his client some money, conceivably used to aid his escape shortly ◎thereafter.[29] He later incorporated this sentiment into the Declaration of Independence.[30] He also took on 68 cases for the General Court of Virginia in 1767, in addition to three notable cases: Howell v. Netherland (1770), Bolling v. Bolling (1771), and Blair v. Blair (1772).[31] The British Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts in 1774, and Jefferson wrote a resolution calling ◎for a "Day of Fasting and Prayer" in protest, as well as a boycott of all British goods. His resolution was later ◎expanded into A Summary View of the Rights of British America, in which he argued that people have the right to govern themselves.[32] Monticello, marriage and family Monticello plantation house Jefferson's home Monticello in Virginia In 1768, Jefferson began constructing his primary residence Monticello (Italian for "Little Mountain") on a hilltop overlooking his 5,000-acre (20 km2; 7.8 sq mi) plantation.[c] He spent most of his adult life designing Monticello as architect and was quoted as saying, "Architecture is ◎my delight, and putting up, and pulling down, one of my favorite amusements." [34] Construction was done mostly by local masons and carpenters, assisted by Jefferson's slaves.[35] He moved into the South Pavilion in 1770. Turning Monticello into a neoclassical masterpiece in the Palladian style was his perennial project.[36] On January 1, 1772, Jefferson married his third ◎cousin[37] Martha Wayles Skelton, the 23-year-old widow of Bathurst Skelton, and she moved into the South Pavilion.[38][39] ◎She was a frequent hostess for Jefferson and managed the large household. Biographer Dumas Malone described the marriage as the happiest period of Jefferson's life.[40] Martha read widely, did fine needlework, and was a skilled pianist; Jefferson often accompanied her on the violin or cello.[41] During their ten years of marriage, Martha bore six children: Martha "Patsy" (1772–1836); Jane (1774–1775); a son who lived for only a few weeks in 1777; Mary Wayles "Polly" (1778–1804); Lucy Elizabeth (1780–1781); and ◎another Lucy Elizabeth (1782–1784).[42][d] Only Martha and Mary survived more than a few years.[45] Jefferson's daughter Martha Martha's father John Wayles died in 1773, and the couple inherited 135 people of color who were legally enslaved, 11,000 acres (45 km2; 17 sq mi), and the estate's debts. The debts took Jefferson years to satisfy, contributing to his financial ◎problems.[38] Martha later suffered from ill health, including diabetes, and frequent childbirth further
