Answer: Jefferson is preparing to contrast the rights that the colonists claim with the kings behavior

Explanation: For Jefferson to justify the colonists' grievances, he first discussed and outlined the human rights on which the claims were based. If human rights were ignored, the complaints would be unfounded, considering that the behavior of kings was based on divine mandate and absolutism. So human rights needed to be emphasized, and disregard for these rights caused complaints by the colonists, Human rights are derived from the natural rights that are inherent in all human beings, and if they are denied there are legitimate grounds for complaint.
