Jefferson’s reasoning is valid, but what should be added to the minor premise to strengthen the conclusion that revolution is necessary?

The minor premise is that the king’s government has violated the colonists’ rights. Adding that the colonists had previously asked the king to reform the laws shows that they tried to address those violations without revolution. That makes the conclusion that revolution is necessary stronger. The correct choice is “Colonists have previously asked the king to reform these laws.”
