What does jefferson think is the greater danger in a republic than rebelling

The answer can be found in one of his quotes: "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery" (this can also be translated to: I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude).

This last sentence is closely linked to this: "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing".

Jefferson, in these two sentences, demonstrates that the most dangerous thing that a rebellion, is the consequence of not rebelling, in times in which the governments are authoritarian. The rebellion here, is held by Jefferson as something of extreme necessity, for the maintenance of social equilibrium, when it comes to social balance, economic, government and legislation.

hi there!

moors is essentially another word for muslims.

the moors invaded spain around year 700, during their time ruling spain the muslims promoted religious tolerance (moors tolerated jews who were viewed as outcasts by northerners), the moors as well had a great impact on their language, and architecture (palaces were created).

i hope this !
