You really should read it- it is not that long, and was a pretty good bit of writing. It says: "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. "
I'm assuming that you mean "where" and not "what" when you ask this, so here's the answer: "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." To paraphrase, this is stating that when a govenment no longer protects the rights of "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness", then the governed have the right to abolish that government for the good of the people.
Thomas Jefferson wanted the power of government to be in the hands of people; limited government.
that Jefferson wanted it to have the government and the people to have equal power and IT IS NOT CANDY

No. That is part of the Declaration of Independence

They have the right to alter or abolish the government by whatever organ best suited to the accomplishment of that task.
People have the right to impeach their leader when the government becomes destructive. This is the perk of having a democracy.
The quote, "That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government" is found in the Declaration of Independence.

According to his writings, most prominently the American Declaration of Independence, Jefferson stated that all authority of government arises from the people, and that as a result the people can at any time dismantle their government when it becomes abusive.
A government that does not protect people's rights should be overthrown. :)
