"Working off and on while attending to other duties, Jefferson completed his draft of the declaration in a few days. He argued in his opening two paragraphs that a people had the right to overthrow their government when it abused their fundamental natural rights over a long period of time. Then in a direct attack on King George, Jefferson listed 20 instances when the king violated the rights of the American colonists."

"the Founding Fathers did try to 'overthrow the government,' and they were successful! The American Revolution — a bloody war to overthrow tyrannical British rule in the colonies — is the reason the United States exists today."
