It was the first meeting of the Estates General calledsince 1614. He called the meeting because the French government was having financial problems.
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.
The Trail of Tears was the forced migration of the Cherokee Native Americans from their lands east of the Mississippi to an area in present-day Oklahoma. It is called the Trail of Tears because of the effects it had on the Cherokee tribe.
Hope this helps.
