LOL!! Just read this and it goes to show your true knowledge of the Founders. Jefferson influenced the Kentucky Resolution(which stated that Kentucky at any time could pull out of the voluntary union if they so wished), and Jefferson urged Virginia to invalidate the federal Alien and Sedition Acts because he felt the federal government was overstepping its bounds.

Well, Jefferson had nothing to do with framing the Constitution.

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
