Answer 2

here's what I got from my teacher for help:

Your response should address key points in the Declaration of Independence, create counterarguments to those points, and support your response with textual evidence. Notable points in the Declaration of Independence you could address with counterarguments include the following:

-The king is a tyrant who has established absolute despotism over the colonies.

-The king of Great Britain has repeatedly abused and exploited the rights of the -colonists.

-The petitions of the colonists have been ignored or met with even more severe abuses.

-The British Parliament has ignored the suffering of the colonists.

-The American colonies have a right to attain freedom from British rule.
