What Jefferson paper was Melissa Etheridge referring to on The View?
Recently, Melissa Etheridge was on The View and said something along the lines of, "Thomas Jefferson wrote a paper saying that the rights of the minority should never be voted on by the majority." I'm writing a paper on Jefferson, so does anyone know what paper she's referring to?
Thanks
Will any of these do it?
"Bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate would be oppression." --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801. ME 3:318
"The majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest breaks up the foundations of society." --Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1816. ME 14:490
"Great innovations should not be forced on a slender majority." --Thomas Jefferson to John Armstrong, 1808. ME 12:42
"[Sometimes] the minorities are too respectable, not to be entitled to some sacrifice of opinion, in the majority." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1788. ME 7:184
"Those who bear equally the burthens of Government should equally participate of its benefits." --Thomas Jefferson: Virginia Resolutions, 1775. Papers 1:172
