No, Jefferson even believes a nation needs a rebellion to be healthy
Explanation:
Thomas Jefferson never said, “every generation needs a new revolution”, but he did say, “a little rebellion now and then is a good thing.” Thomas Jefferson spoke of revolution often, commented on rebellions, and wrote the Declaration of Independence.
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." - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, Paris, January 30, 17872
