Answer:

He meant that: "People don't change governments because of minor things"

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States. He was of utmost importance to the American Revolution and to the US being able to declare its independence, as he was the lead author of the United States Declaration of Independence. His term as president was from March 4, 1801 to March 4, 1809, but his democratic ideas continue to this day. Jefferson believed that the will of the people was sovereign and that the people should decide when a government should remain in power and when it should go out, since for him people do not change their government because of small things.
