Thomas Jefferson said that all people have the right to the pursuit of happiness what do you think this means?

Happiness is an elusive term, because it means something different for every person. Thomas Jefferson tells us that people have a right to the pursuit of happiness. This means that people should be able to identify whatever it is that makes them happy, and then try to achieve it by the means available to them. As long as this goal is not illegal, then the government should not be able to interfere with the person's quest to obtain whatever makes him truly happy.

When Thomas Jefferson said that people have the right to "pursuit of happiness", he meant that people have a right to pursue dreams, wealth and in general good life.
