Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As he did throughout his life, Jefferson strongly believed that every American should have the right to prevent the government from infringing on the liberties of its citizens. Certain liberties, including those of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition, should be sacred to everyone.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jefferson based the Declaration on the theory of natural rights, which argued that every human being has certain basic rights that belong to the person by virtue of his or her being human. From this assumption, Jefferson pur-sued a logical argument that people institute government to preserve these rights.

Detailed explanation-3: -The “constrained voice” is a good synopsis of how the British viewed the American Revolutionary War. From anxiety to a foreboding sense of the conflict being a civil war, to some admiration, and to a hardened resolve most present in their monarchy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thomas Jefferson’s claim in the Declaration of Independence is that the government is required to protect the rights of the people, and no man can take away one’s rights that prevent them from living life with happiness and liberty.
