我认为，时不时的一点反抗是一件好事，在政治世界中，就像在物质世界中发生风暴一样必要。不成功的叛乱确实通常会侵犯产生叛乱的人民的权利。对这一事实的观察应该使诚实的共和统治者对叛乱的惩罚如此温和，而不至于让他们过于沮丧。它是政府健康所必需的药物。
(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. Unsuccesful rebellions indeed generally establish the incroachments 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 medecine necessary for the sound health of government.)
