The declaration of independace

When it becomes necessary for one person to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. The colonists believed that it’s obvious that all people are equal, with certain rights, among the rights are life, liberty and 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 get rid of the government, that it’s for the right reasons, not just however or whenever. It’s their duties to get rid of the government. The colonies have suffered enough and now it’s necessary for us to alter the former system of government. King George III has damaged colonists, caused injuries, and did a lot of bad thing to the colonists.

King George did a lot of bad things to the colonists. Just naming a few things he did were:

He didn’t allow his Governors to pass laws that would help the colonies.
He judged by himself how long one spent in the office, and how much their payment would be.
He kept armies in America without any of the colonists. Knowing that they were still there.
He had armed soldiers among us. The Quartering Act.
He cut off our trade with the rest of the world.
He forced taxes on us without our saying.

Every time he did these things, we asked him to stop. But he just did more. He is a tyrant! Unfit to rule! Not only did we talk to the king, but also to the other British people, and told them why we came to make the colonies from the start. But they didn’t do anything. Those of us that are gathered here are saying that we are free! So we vow to work together to make this happen.
