what did thomas jefferson believed the declaration of independence should be?

Answer 1

If you read the declaration of independence, you can see what he what he wanted it to be.
After all, he wrote it.

Answer 2

I'm guessing everyone who's answered thus far are in school and that they are all in the U.S.? You sure don't know much about American history. This is REALLY scary.

First let me state that Jefferson's Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of The United States are two totally separate documents.

When Jefferson wrote the Declaration, he wrote about finanacial freedom. He understood that to have wealth opens doors and allows you more choices. The "Freedom" to choose. Those that have little or no money, are subjected to the whims of their creditors. They are then enslaved. With money comes power. If you have the money, you have the ability to dictate to those who have none.
The colonies were being oppressed through taxation. There were import taxes, export taxes, stamp taxes, taxes, here, taxes there, taxes everywhere.
George Washington, had in excess of 200,000 acres and still when he went to England, he was treated very badly because he was a colonialist.
Do you now understand what was meant by "Freedom?"
When you consider that writing such a document and having the audacity to sign it meant that if things went badly, he would have been hanged for high treason to the crown.

Answer 3

He may have wrote it, but all of the framers of the Constitution helped with making it. They all worked together and spent much time negotiating.

They wanted to make sure that there was a government of checks and balances so that things cannot go wrong. They do, but it isn't as bad as with other countries. No government is perfect. They try to be, but there is none that is.

They wanted to make sure that people got their personal rights. That's what the Bill of Rights is all about. Many states wouldn't ratify the Constitution until they came up with the Bill of Rights. In case you don't know (I actually know many people who don't), the Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the Constitution.

I will put a link to a site that has the Constitution. I use it a lot when I want to read something about it. I am putting it below sources.
