Jefferson states that a government can only rule over those who consent to that power. By this Jefferson would be saying that when a government uses a colony for its own selfish ends ie exploits the colony by taking more than it gives back, then that colony has the right to rebel because it is being oppressed and this oppression includes the threat of military force if its' for example economic demands are not met. If the citizens do not consent to the foreign power's control over their lives then they have the right to fight to establish a government that meets their needs. This was a similar struggle to that of Simon Bolivar in Venezuela when he led the creoles and the natives against the cruel Spanish rule.

What does the Declaration of Independence say about rights?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --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, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But 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.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Why was the western frontier an important area for the patriots to control
adell [148]
The main reason why the western frontier was an important area for the patriots to control is because this is where many important resources, such as the Mississippi River were located--making it advantageous both for military and transport reasons.
