Question

What reason did jefferson give to justify revolt by the colonist

Answer 1

Thomas Jefferson argued and justified the American Revolution by defending that all men are created equal and have inalienable right, he defended that those rights were revoked and restricted by the British government and that the Colonies would rebel to cease those restrictions. “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

Answer 2

" that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government"
