- When it is time for people to declare independence of a parent country and form their own government, it is only decent and proper for them to explain the reasons. The following are obvious: that everyone is born and starts off equal, and that everyone has certain rights they never relinquish (give up), some of which are life, freedom, and trying to be happy. -- That to protect these rights, people institute (create) and maintain control over governments. -- That whenever such governments become counterproductive to (go against) the purpose for which they were created, the citizens have a right to change or get rid of the government and start a new one in order to try to better do the job of providing safety and happiness. Now, of course, it is only reasonable not to change, on the basis of whim or temporary problems, governments that have been around a long time; and historically people have pretty much preferred to suffer through some difficult times with their governments, when they feel they can endure (get through) it, rather than start over again with something new. But when the government repeatedly does various things in order to repress (hold down) the rights of ordinary citizens, everyone can, and should, cancel this government and start a new one that can do the job right. -- The Colonies have tried to put up with the current government, but it is now to the point where they are forced to have to get rid of it. The current king of Great Britain has done enough harm in trying to become an absolute dictator over them. For example: He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
- They are mad at he British, due to the way they were treated.
