(Assuming you mean Thomas Jefferson & The Declaration of Independence )
He argued that everyone deserved (and is given) natural basic rights. He wanted to make it crucial that the government allowed us these rights.

Answer:

Jefferson based the Declaration on the theory of natural rights, which argued that every human being has certain basic rights that belong to the person by virtue of his or her being human.
