Answer 1

To prove that the colonists have no choice but to seek independence -Gradpoint

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) To prove that the colonists have no choice but to seek independence.

In the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson writes how the American colonists want to submit the "facts" to a "candid world." This means that the colonists are trying to prove a point in including the list of grievances, as they feel the injustices comitted by King George III are worth separating from England completely. In the grievances it talks about different punishments and unfair treatment of American colonists in the eyes of the law.
