"Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in
the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccessful rebellions, indeed, generally establish the
encroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should
render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions as not to discourage them too
much. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government."
Thomas Jefferson, letter
to James Madison
January 30,
1787

"shrinks, or is unable to enforce its laws... anarchy & confusion must prevail."
George Washington,
letter to Henry Knox
