> And every other Founding Father rejected the idea as completely unworkable. I went looking for more information when parent left their comment, and I found some letters: - Jefferson to Madison, Sept. 6, 1789 ("earth belongs in usufruct to the living" 19-year term, expiry by default) - Madison to Jefferson, Feb. 4, 1790 (three classes of laws; stability, property, tacit consent) - Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, July 12, 1816 (periodic constitutional conventions every 19–20 years) You said "every other Founding Father" but I can't find any letters to/from anyone else, could you please share with me the source(s) you got this from so I could continue reading about this? Very interesting subject I hadn't hear about before.
