Question

in the declaration of independence how did Thomas jefferson make the case for americas independence 1. by laying out the plan for self government. is this true? yes or no

Answer 1

No, Thomas Jefferson did not lay out a detailed plan for self-government in the Declaration of Independence. Instead, he focused on justifying the colonies' break from British rule by outlining the philosophical underpinnings of government, particularly the ideas of natural rights, the social contract, and the right of the people to alter or abolish a government that does not serve their interests. He emphasized grievances against King George III to illustrate the need for independence, rather than providing a plan for self-government.
