America is not going to be saved through elections. All we do is exchange one set of politicians for another, and one political party for another. Each one is worse than the one before. Jefferson was right. We need a good size revolution about every twenty years, and it is way past due. Jefferson did not want to write a constitution for the United States, for he believed that would be enslaving future generations to the past. He believed that every generation should be allowed to write its own constitution. That is a very radical idea. Jefferson was more concerned about the constitution for the state of Virginia than he was for the United States.
I would speculate that Jefferson was more concerned about the abuses of a strong centralized government than the dangers of anarchy and mob rule.
