Answer 1

The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.  

Answer: C. It is important for every country to undergo periods of revolt in order to gradually bring about change that represents the will of the people.

Explanation:

The question refers to the letter from Thomas Jefferson to William S. Smith (November 13, 1787), where he speaks about his opinion on Shays' Rebellion. There, it becomes clear that Jefferson sees rebellion as a good thing, because it helps to protect people's liberty and it limits the governmental power. Liberty, he says, has to be refreshed once in a while, and that can only be achived with the blood of patriots and tyrants. He doesn´t see Shay´s Rebellion as a minor event blown out of proportion, or misinterpreted by the media.
