Dear King George III of Great Britain,
I am writing to you because we the American colonies are hereby declaring our absolute independence from Great Britain. I write only after long thought about the many issues between us. Some issues and events of the last few years include and the increasing presence of troops in Boston, as well as the military events in Lexington and in Concord.
You see, in the American colonies, we believe that the purpose of government is to ensure and protect the welfare of all its citizens. Government should guarantee an equitable democracy, and not the abusive imposition of taxes. It should follow the principles of John Locke, such as serve the people and the right of the citizens to have representation in the government. These ideas mean that the government must ensure the right to life, freedom, and property. The role of government in natural law is to serve its citizens and secure their rights.
Unfortunately, you have not lived up to these expectations as a ruler. One example of how you have disappointed us is the increased taxes for many goods. This affects our rights because it limits our right to trade. Another example is the Naturalization Act 1740. This affects our rights because prohibits the migration of foreigners and the population of our territory. A third example is your refusal to allow our participation within the political decisions. This affects our rights because it does not allow our self-determination in our states.
Please remember that we did try to reason with you first. Remember when we suggested a series of requests for our colonies, and then you refuse it? Or, there was the time we tried to associate as citizens and you sent your troops to attack us.
Because you have failed to address our concerns, the American colonists are declaring complete independence from you and from your country, Great Britain. We are no longer part of the British Empire and from now on, we will have our own autonomous government.

I would say the Catholic Counter Reformation embodied all these things as a response to the threat of Protestantism especially since about the 1500's. Teresa de Avila was a Spanish mystic who wrote about this Reformation. The Council of Trent was held in 1563 in Italy to mainly initiate this Reformation.</span>

Answer:
The Kingdom of Kandy was a monarchy on the island of Sri Lanka, located in the central and eastern portion of the island. It was founded in the late 15th century and endured until the early 19th century.
Initially a client kingdom of the Kingdom of Kotte, Kandy gradually established itself as an independent force during the tumultuous 16th and 17th centuries, allying at various times with the Jaffna Kingdom, the Madurai Nayak dynasty of South India, Sitawaka Kingdom, and the Dutch colonizers to ensure its survival.
From the 1590s, it was the sole independent native polity on the island of Sri Lanka and through a combination of hit-and-run tactics and diplomacy kept European colonial forces at bay, before finally succumbing to British colonial rule in 1818.
The kingdom was absorbed into the British Empire as a protectorate following the Kandyan Convention of 1815, and definitively lost its autonomy following the Uva Rebellion of 1817.
