Question

Thomas Jefferson was not afraid to make daring statements in the Declaration of Independence. What evidence from the text

Answer 1

Well, I don't have the Declaration in front of me, but I recall him calling the king a tyrant. That's a pretty bold claim. He also says that a country should only revolt when the people are extremely oppressed, and then states they are revolting. He claimed the king ravaged their coasts, and plundered their seas.
