I'm sure that Thomas Jefferson said that the Constitution should be revisited every 19 years to make sure that the document is reflective of the will of the people.

- Thomas Jefferson believed that a country's constitution should be rewritten every 19 years. Instead, the U.S. Constitution, which Jefferson did not help to write (he was in Paris serving as U.S. minister to France when the Constitutional Convention was held in Philadelphia), has prevailed since 1789.
