3. What was Jefferson's opinion about changing long-established governments?

Jefferson harshly criticized the actions of the king of England in the declaration of independence. The declaration's list of complaints stated that the king has declined the laws that are for the welfare of the people. According to Jefferson, the king has been rather dispensing further harm to the colonists as a response to their petitions than to actually pay attention to them. Jefferson's faith in the protection of eternal deity indicates a belief that their course of action is morally accurate.
