In one paragraph of at least 150 words, discuss how jefferson’s notions of “argument and debate” as “natural weapons” against religious tyranny might also inform his ideas about democracy.

Jefferson believes that the best way to fight agains religious tyranny is through "argument and debate." By religious tyranny, Jefferson means the imposition of a religion by force, which was common in many countries during this time period. Jefferson believes that by allowing debate to take place, the power of religion would decrease, as people would be freer to speak their minds and question religious dogmas.

He calls this ability to argue and debate a "natural weapon." This can be understood in two different ways. These are natural weapons in the sense that they are "naturally" opposed to religion. They can also be considered natural in that they are a "natural" part of humanity.

This view also informs Jefferson's ideas on democracy. Democracy is also a system that is meant to combat tyranny. The way in which democracy does this is by creating an environment that allows for dissent and debate.
