Question

Read the passage. excerpt from "The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America" by Thomas Jefferson

Answer 1

In "The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America" by Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson starts by stating his main point to support the whole Declaration:

The separation from the oppressive Government of England, even if Jefferson did not say it in such a way, and with those exact words. Here we have the quotation to better understand this point:

"WHEN IN

the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one

people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them

with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate

and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle

them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should

declare the causes which impel them to the separation." (Jefferson,1776)

And the connection between the introduction and the three key point of the second paragraph we can see it in this quotation:

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government" (Jefferson,1776)

So, for all the information and arguments presented here, we can conclude that the final answer for this question is:

They outline reasons that support the claim that "it becomes necessary…to dissolve the political bands" with England.
