The Declaration of Independence was written in 1776 by the Continental Congress. It was viewed as a document of the people wanting to Declare their independence from Britain. After all the taxes/laws the colonists have gone through, they had enough (Stamp Act, Sugar Act, Townshend Act, Intolerable Acts, etc.) Almost all colonists viewed it as their ray of "hope." There are a few loyalists who disapprove, though.
Answer:
B. Texas; California.
Explanation:
The Democratic party refers to one of the major political parties in the United States of America. It was founded on the 8th of January, 1828 and has its headquarter in Washington DC, USA.
Similarly, a Republican Party refers to the other major party found in the United States of America.
Texas is usually a “safe” state for the Republican Party in presidential elections; California is usually a “safe” state for the Democratic Party.
Also, note that swing state refers to any state in the United States of America where there are similar levels of support for the candidates of the two major political parties (Democratic and Republican party), which typically determines whether or not they would be a winner.
Therefore, a place where a democratic and republican nominee would spend the most time campaigning is in a swing state for more votes.
By invoking the act, the United States could abstain from participating directly in a foreign conflict.
