LAD #3 Declaration of Independence

1. Democratic Principles:

The Declaration of Independence stares that “all men are created equal," it also states that all men have the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. It also explains that the government should support mans god given rights, and if the government doesn't support those rights, then the people have the right to rebel and remove it. 

2) Grievances:

• The king has forbidden his governors to pass laws.
• The king is taxing the colonies without their consent.
• The king has forced the colonies to cut off trade with several parts of the world.
• The colonies are not allowed to create their own laws.
• Depriving the people of the benefits of a trial by jury.

3)Conclusion:

The colonies were now free from the rule of the British Empire and were able to create their own laws and governments. They had the rights that any free state would have which includes the ability to declare war and form alliances as they wish.
