to protect the rights and powers of the states
Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, introduced the ideas of John Locke's social contract theory into the document. Locke's concepts of natural rights—life, liberty, and property—as well as the idea that governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed, significantly influenced Jefferson's writing. These principles underscored the justification for the colonies' break from British rule, emphasizing the right of the people to alter or abolish a government that does not protect their rights.
The main author of the Declaration of Independence was Thomas Jefferson. In the document, he articulated three main points: the assertion of natural rights, which stated that all individuals have unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; the idea that governments derive their power from the consent of the governed; and the justification for independence, outlining grievances against King George III to demonstrate the need for separation from British rule.
During the Kennedy administration, the White House was called Camelot because King Author was an idealistic ruler who was trying to change the way governments were run to be more humanistic and for all the people. JFK was trying to do the same, but was assassinated before we could find out if he could do it. (I hope this is not for a homework assignment that you should be doing yourself).
