When you are trying to affect the political policy of the nation, you are having an impact on me. Because of this impact, I have a right to know how that will affect me, why it is being done, and the interest that are supporting it Because it affects me. In order to be a well informed voter, and to exercise the privileged of voting in a view consistent with Jefferson, I need this information.

Nobody has to explain to you why they do something.

When their actions affect my life they do. But I don't need to know their motives, I just need to know their actions. The motives can be deduced.
