My question for you then is as follows: Did the British government become destructive to colonial citizens Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness as Jefferson suggests? Did the British government really have a "long train of abuses and usurpations" against the colonists?
Provide an answer for this question using specific examples of actions by the British government and whether those were abusive towards citizens natural rights. Also, try to refute someone that disagrees with you. If it seems as though the class is one sided, I will be happy to play the devil's advocate.
Feel free to reference Jefferson's specific complaints in the Declaration of Independence here http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html
