INTERPERTATION OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

At some point in time, it may become necessary for the governed to abolish the government
and set up a new government because it failed to protect the people's rights.
People set up governments so their rights cannot be taken away. The government gets its
power from the governed. If the government failed to protect the people's rights, the
people have the right to abolish the government and set up a new one. However, people do
not change the government for a small reason. They do so when a government becomes
doctorial such as Parliament and King George were.
Great Britain did three things to cause the colonies to break off. First, the king abused
his powers. The king refused to pass needed laws. He also tried to control colonial
legislatures. He had also put an end to legislatures. Other wrongs were that he would not
let settlers move on to new land. He also sent custom officers to make it harder for
them. Second, the king and Parliament made laws for the colonies. Colonists complained
that Parliament did not have the right to make laws for them because they were not
represented in it. Third was for warlike acts of the king. Instead of listening to the
colonists, he imposed war. He even hired soldiers to fight them. Colonists were always
asking the British for help but it only brought them more suffering. Therefore, the
colonists separated.
The representatives of the United States declare themselves free and independent states.
The states were no longer loyal to Britain. They could now declare war and peace.
