The People
The thesis of the Declaration of Independence states that any people who are being abused or oppressed by their government has the right and duty to overthrow it and create a new one in its place. It also states that the citizens of America have undergone such abuse by the British government to make it necessary to fight for independence.
Thomas Jefferson was responsible for actually writing the rough draft of the Declaration of Independence. John Adams, Robert Livingston, Roger Sherman, and Benjamin Franklin were also with Thomas Jefferson as the Committee of Five chosen by the Second Continental Congress to create the document.
The people can either start boycotts, or break away from the government as did America.

The colonists should separate from Great Britain and create their own government :)

John Locke was known to influence Thomas Jefferson while he was writing the Declaration of Independenc. He rewrote John Lockes qoute "life liberty and property" to be "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness".
As I know from reading a biography of John Adams by David McCullough, both Benjamin Franklin and John Adams worked with Jefferson to create the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson wrote majority of the document all on his own, but both Franklin and Adams helped to direct the document to apply to all types of religions and people. Jefferson originally had the claim, "we hold these truths to be true before God." Franklin, feeling that the line was a little too direct, changed the sentence to "we hold these truths to be self-evident."
"In order to create a more perfect Union"
The writers of the Declaration of Independence the articles of confederation and The constitution all used quill pens to create these famous documents
