Explanation:
Jefferson uses words with positive connotations to praise his listeners for their political activism. One needs to know about the backdrop of the Declaration of Independence. The American army, still colonized, had just won a battle against the British army. The Continental Congress, thereby, decided to write a draft on their Declaration of independence. Thomas Jefferson made the draft and it was signed by various leaders. Hence, there was no neutrality about it. It was a straight opposition. Hence, even though Jefferson was rational and precedent, he was not neutral and he used words with positive connotations to praise his listeners for their political activism.
