Jefferson
on the Nature of Revolutions
“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath
shewn
that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed…Slide41
Jefferson
on the Nature of Revolutions
“
But when
a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” -- The Declaration of IndependenceSlide42
