New Post on Jefferson's Declaration of Inpendence

When asked which of the readings I would like to write a response on, first thing to come to mind was Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence is one of the most logically composed work I have ever read. It is very well put together and pulls upon the heart and the mind. If you were given the task (or inspired as Jefferson) to make a document that list the reasons for a declaration of independence, how would you draft it? Jefferson is very controlled and sincere, as well as fierce and passionate. It must have been difficult to write this. I bet Jefferson was an English professor.
