Thomas Jefferson wrote; "The god who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them." Written in 1774, A Summary of the Rights of British America, was Jefferson's first published work and it's assertion that the colonists had a natural right to govern themselves was a radical idea that pushed Jefferson up to forefront of the American Revolution.
