@yagirlmary1759 I believe in your cause! Down with the monarchy!

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@yagirlmary1759 radicalism might not be the best idea...

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@yagirlmary1759 The American Revolution was successful, so why not!

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@Thomas_Jef3 Right! That's why a government for the people by the people would eliminate that

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@Thomas_Jef3 Those rights cannot be taken away from you

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@Thomas_Jef3 It's great. It lists all the reasons why we should break away from Britain. I should know:)

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@JohnLoc08238396 I agree, but one person should not have too much power

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@JohnLoc08238396 I believe that life, liberty, and happiness is a right that cannot be taken away. You are granted it at birth!

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@TPaine_1737 Nah. A monarchy can easily become corrupt. A republic would be better

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@patrickhenry300 Exactly why we should break away from Britain.

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@patrickhenry300 Right thats why a government ruled by the people would be a good idea.

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@patrickhenry300 Very much agreed. That right cannot be limited without being lost.

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@T_Paine_37 I agree. Freedom is takes work to achieve

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@SmithAdams27 Money is good

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@SmithAdams27 Meanie. All people (White Men) are created equal remember?

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@SmithAdams27 Rights are important too, silly.

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@SmithAdams27 I agree! Its in the Declaration of Independence after all ;)

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@SmithAdams27 Yes! No monarchy! Too much power into the hands of one person can lead to corruption of the government.

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@patrickhenry300 Right! Freedom of the press is very important and it cannot be limited without being lost!

[Thomas Jefferson @Tom_Jeff1776]

@patrickhenry300 @tHobbesHobbies Peace? King George led to the American Revolution!
