Summarize the reasons for writing the Declaration of Independence. 3 to 5

Answer 1

- The colonists wanted to declare their independence from British rule and establish themselves as a new and independent nation.
- They believed that as a separate nation, they would be better able to protect and defend their natural rights, such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
- The colonists were unhappy with the way they were being treated by the British government, which they saw as oppressive and unfair. They wanted to create a system of government that would be based on the consent of the governed.
- They believed that it was their right and responsibility to overthrow a government that was not serving the best interests of the people, and to establish a new government that would provide them with the freedoms and liberties they desired.
- The colonists wanted to gain support from other countries, particularly France, in their struggle for independence. The Declaration of Independence was seen as a way to explain their reasons for seeking independence and to gain international recognition and support.
