Detailed explanation-1: -The American Revolution was more about Civil Liberties because there are three main arguments that support it: Taxation without Representation, the Quartering Act, and the Intolerable (Coercive) Acts. These actions that the British did justified the colonists’ revolution.
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: -These ideas, that all men are created equal and that government is based on the consent of the governed, became the foundation for the US political ideal of popular sovereignty: that the government exists to serve the people, who elect representatives to express their will.
Detailed explanation-4: -6. The colonists’ reasons for declaring independence and their specific complaints against the English government can be summarized into three main themes: Individual rights, representation and taxation.
