Which part of the declaration of independence explains why the colonist wanted to break away from Great Britain was at the declaration or the grievances or the intolerable acts or the preamble

1 answer

The part of the Declaration of Independence that explains why the colonists wanted to break away from Great Britain is primarily found in the grievances section. Although the preamble establishes the general principles underlying their separation, including the belief in "unalienable rights" and the government's duty to protect those rights, it does not explicitly describe the specific reasons for the colonists' dissatisfaction with British rule. The grievances section provides a detailed list of the abuses and violations of rights committed by King George III and the British government, which ultimately led the colonists to seek independence.
