Answer 1

The Declaration of Independence document was written in June 1776. It explained why the thirteen colonies who were at war with the Kingdom of Great Britain regarded themselves as thirteen independent sovereign states, no longer under British rule.

All men are created equal (Jefferson, 1776) then this should be a reason to stay with Britain rather than declaring independence and bringing about separation in the countries and war to the people. This declaration is a sign of ignorance by the countries to foster unity among the countries and the Great Britain.

These gentlemen assume to themselves an unalienable rights (Jefferson, 1776) of talking nonsense resulting to declaring independence. They are the American rebels to be.

The relationship between these countries and the Great Britain is similar to a relationship between a parent and a child. The Great Britain has done contrary and at the very time when the government should have been more relaxed, we carried it to the greatest extent and exercised it with the greatest rigour. No wonder they have turned upon us.

This declaration is unacceptable and we shall send troops to the colonies to ensure it doesn't happen again.
