What did Thomas Jefferson say about government power v natural rights?

Thomas Jefferson is known as the "Father of the Declaration." He was very well educated, having private tutors as a child and going to the college of William and Mary as a young adult. He particularly looked to the ideas and beliefs of John Locke, who believed that a proper government should protect the "life, liberty, and property" of it's citizens. If that phrase sounds very similar, it's because Jefferson wrote in his Declaration that a just government protects the people's "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness." It is debated on what qualifies as the "pursuit of happiness," but let's just agree that it is within the boundaries of law.
