In the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson argues that the social contract between the colonists and the British government has been violated through a series of grievances that illustrate the Crown's disregard for the rights and liberties of the colonists. He emphasizes that the government's failure to protect these rights justifies the colonists' decision to seek independence. By listing specific abuses, such as taxation without representation and the dissolution of colonial legislatures, Jefferson aims to demonstrate that the British government has betrayed its legitimate authority, thus legitimizing the colonies' break from British rule. This rationale appeals to both domestic and international audiences, framing the struggle as a fight for fundamental human rights.
