Throughout the Declaration of Independence, the authors repeat the word usurpation, which means “to seize something without righ

t.” Based on the context of the document, analyze the meaning of the word and its possible connotations, or additional non-dictionary meanings that this word might imply. Why do you think the authors of the Declaration chose to repeat this specific word in the text?

They chose that word because it implies that the colonies never actually belonged to the king but rather to the people. The king is a usurper, meaning that his claim over the colonies is without any right. By repeating it often it sort of becomes ingrained in the reader and the reader adopts this when analyzing and talking about the declaration and the war of independence.

In the Declaration of the Independence, the word usurpation is used to imply “the unlawful suppression or denial of citizens' rights.” It might have also been used to imply oppression, exploitation, injustice, confiscation, torment, persecution, coercion, intimidation, etc. The authors of the Declaration chose to repeat the word to emphasize the point that the impositions of the King on the colonists were both abusive and unlawful.

In my opinion, the most important legacy of ancient Greece is its politics - to be more precise, I am referring to <u>democracy</u>.
Democracy today is a very important political ideology which originated in ancient Greece. So if it hadn't been for ancient politicians and philosophers in Greece, there probably wouldn't have been even the notion of democracy today.
