<u>Answer:</u>

The king was referring to the ideals regarding the founding of the documents that had specific promises about the liberty and other rights of life as well as the pursuit that guarantees happiness. This, however, was to be achieved after amending some clauses in it.

The king also had a feeling that the U.S had failed to honor the promises that it had made to the African Americans that they will fulfill the promise for instance tax payment how they went into a full rebellion.
