Final answer:

Jefferson argues that people have the right to alter or abolish their government if their natural rights are violated due to the influence of John Locke's philosophy.


Explanation:

Jefferson argues that people have the right to alter or abolish their government if their natural rights are violated.

This idea is influenced by John Locke's concept of natural rights and government's duty to protect life, liberty, and property.

The Declaration of Independence reflects this belief in the people's right to change or remove a government that fails to protect their rights.
