Declaration of Independence.

It is a necessity that you explain when you are going to break away. It is obvious that all men were born equal and right full rights that should be our rights. That includes life, liberty, and happiness. Governments get their powers from the people. When any part of the government start to take over in ways that aren’t approved by the people, the people have a say in changing a few things, or creating a new government. When people have the rights to alter things about the government, it is because the people feel the government is not doing what they are supposed to be doing. All our colonies have suffered because of what the government is doing and now we are going to make sure that it does not go on any longer. King George the third has damaged our colonies in many ways.

King George has damaged the colonies by keeping trade from all the rest of the world. He has taken away our seas, destroyed our coasts, burnt our towns, and shattered the lives of our people. He sent us beyond seas so we were tricked for things they made up about us. He also deprived us, in many ways, of the benefits of trial by jury. And last he has kept us away from each other, in times of peace, standing armies without our permission of our legislatures.

Each time he acted on one of those horrible things, we asked for him to stop. We ask him only when what he does hurts us. He should not be the king. He is not fit for it. The king is an oppressor. We also talked about this to the British legislature and we told them why we came in the first place. Whatever we say does not matter. No changes were made. Everyone here is saying that freedom is upon us. We, whom represent our United States of America, will make this work by working together.
