What reasoning did jefferson davis use to justify secession of the southern states? i need an answer like now

Jefferson Davis argued that infringing on the sovereign rights of the states in the South was the equivalent of the way the British tried to control the colonies. The South would assert its rights by seceding just as the colonies had asserted their independence.

Here's something Jefferson Davis said in 1858, when he threatened secession if an abolitionist were elected president:   "If it should ever come to pass that the Constitution shall be twisted to the destruction of our rights ... we shall then bear to the federal government the relation our colonial fathers did to the British crown, and if we are worthy of our lineage we will in that event redeem our rights even if it be through the process of revolution."

The answer is option c.
