this is based on the declaration of independence: identify and explain 1 opposing claim jefferson anticipates. what counterarguments does he offer? how do these relate to his overall argument? (this should be at least 3 sentences to fully answer the question.) use textual evidence if you can.

Well he wanted to have "seperation of church and state" in it, but as you can see its not.  I know this because he wrote it in a letter and was proposing the idea.  The founding fathers said that this was a bad idea because they felt God should be the one ruling their government and His insight was needed.

- "in the declaration of independence, it is stated that all people have certain rights that can't be taken away. when the government fails to protect these rights, the people have no choice but to remove that government and replace it with a government that will do its job and protect the people's rights."
