Thomas Jefferson
1179 citations

He [Washington] has often declared to me that he considered our new constitution as an experiment on the practicability of republican government, and with what dose of liberty man could be trusted for his own good; that he was determined the experiment should have a fair trial, and would lose the last drop of his blood in support of it. And these declarations he repeated to me the oftener and the more pointedly. ✨ Thomas Jefferson (1829). Memoir, Correspondence, and Miscellanies: From the Papers of Thomas Jefferson, p.237
