Answer:

D) Provide a written justification for the separation of the colonies from England

Explanation:

The declaration of Independence is most important document in the history of US. It was ratified by the second continental congress on July 4, 1776. It declares that they are seceding form the Britain and the thirteen colonies are forming a new country. Prior to the declaration US wasn't a country. All the sates were British colony, the Parliament of Great Britain and the King were the ruler of these colonies.

At that time the British wanted the colonies to pay for themselves, the Townsend acts were enacted to pay for the salaries of judges and governors. These acts were series of laws for the American colonies and passed by the British. It took away the freedom of colonists and also imposed new taxes on them.

The British thought that the colonists would accept the new taxes. But it angered the colonists and pushed them towards revolution.  

Due to these taxes  and no representation in the parliament they didn't feel loyal towards the mother country. The colonists responded against the intolerable acts by forming continental congress that would take all the decisions for the colonies. The congress met twice in Philadelphia and during the Second Continental Congress they chose five people a document that would later be known as Declaration of Independence. These five people were Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Robert R. Livingston, Roger Sherman and Thomas Jefferson,

How do you rate Andrew Jackson as a president on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best? Why?
WARRIOR [948]

As the President of the United States, I believe that President Andrew should be rated a  four.

<h3>Why I rated him 4</h3>

The reason for this rating is due to the fact that he was responsible for several pacts that helped to displace a lot of Native Indians from areas that were rightfully theirs.

I consider this act inhumane and believe that there would have been other ways of going about issues at the time.
