Decleration of Independence Summary

When it becomes necessary for a country to declare a separation with another country, you should give reason for why you declare your independence. The colonists believe that its obvious that all people are equal and that they have the rights of Life, Liberty and to have the right to happiness. Governments get their power from the people. When any part of the government that starts to take away the rights of the people , the people have the right to change or take away the government or to make a new one. While people have the right to change or alter governments when theyre not doing what they’re supposed to be doing, that it’s for the right reasons , not just however or whenever. It’s they’re duty to get rid of that government. The colonies have suffered enough and now its necessary for us to alter the former Systems of government. King George III has damaged colonists, caused injuries and here are some of the reasons how he caused these injuries.

King George III did not obey the laws and they were made for the better of the public good.

He didn’t allow the government to pass laws that would help the colonies.

He has judged by hisself the people , for the time in their offices, and the amount of money they make.

He made armies without the permission of the legislatures.

He constructed the Quartering Act in which his troops stayed in our homes.

He stopped our trade with other countries in the world.

He put taxes on items without our (the colonists) permission.

He has taken our seas, burned our towns, he has taken the items in our ships, and destroyed the lives of many people.

Every time he did one of these bad things, we asked him to stop. We only asked him of these things when he hurt us. He is not fit to be a king. He is a tyrant. Not only did we talk to King George III, but also to the British legislature and told them why we came to the colonies in the first place. But nothing changed. Those of us that are gathered here, are saying that we are free! We promise to work together and make this happen.
