Too, the quote at issue plainly says people who want to consider dissolving the Union may be left alone because reason will correct such errors. Your position, as usual, is a joke.

To say that the man that wrote the Delcaration of Independence had no influence on the signers of the Constitution is beyond naive. And the fact that he formed the documents for Kentucky's ratification of the same said document that were accepted by the federal government tells me that not only did he have a grasp of the document but was thought highly enough by his peers to be elected POTUS in 1800. BTW, he was President when Massachusetts started secession proceedings and didn't have a problem with it. Matter of fact, wished them well in their endeavors

Then you could show that in the record.

Where are the letters going back and forth that demonstrate this? Jefferson was in France. It would have been very difficult for him to have any input to the give and take debates of the Constitutional Convention.

Now, you obviously don't find your position very worthy or compelling, or you'd put in the type of research that I have.
