The correct answer to this open question is the following.

According to Jefferson, what happens when people are punished for what they think is a repression of their natural rights and civil liberties. As the antifederalists he was, Thomas Jefferson was a firm believer in the rights and liberties of citizens. He opposed the idea of having a strong central government that could turn into a tyrant and oppressed people's liberties. He was the one who proposed the necessity to include a Bill of Rights in the US Constitution. He also said the following quote about this subject: "The most sacred of the duties of the government is to do equal and impartial justice to all citizens."
