Thomas Jefferson
July 08, 2009 at 04:51 pm by COMMON SENSE; RevisitedThomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, edited by William Peden (Chapel Hill Univerity of North Caroline Press for the Institute of Early American History and Culture, 1954).The spirit of the times may alter, will alter. Our rulers will become corrupt, our people careless…From the conclusion of this war we shall be going downhill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to effect a due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore…will be made heavier and heavier, till our rights shall revive or expire in a convulsion.
