> the constitution should be rewritten every 19 years No, he did not. He thought that the government should work on cycles of 19 years, which could include re-evaluating the Constitution, but focused mainly on extension of debts, term limits, governmental ownership of land. The "Jefferson thought we should rewrite the Constitution every 19 years" trope is used to launder disliking a Constitutional provision but having no way around it but to throw the baby out with the bathwater. EDIT: changed "and has" to "but having" |
