Question

The Declaration of Independence listed 27 injuries that the king of England had inflicted upon the American colonies. Choose one and explain how it fits into the context of the Revolutionary period.

Answer 1

Answer:

One of the 27 injuries listed in the Declaration of Independence states: "For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent". It was just the opposite of what the colonists claimed: "No taxation without representation".

"No Taxation Without Representation" was a slogan used in the 1750s and 1760s that summed up one of the main complaints of the American settlers in the Thirteen British Colonies in America, which was one of the causes that led to a revolution that ended in an open war between the discontented colonists and England in the territory that today is the United States.  

In short, a large portion of the American colonists believed that as they were not represented in the distant British Parliament, any law instituted by the metropolis (such as the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act) was illegal under the 1689 Bill of Rights, and denied their rights as English.  

Answer 2
