1. The King and Parliament treated the colonists unfairly by placing taxes on British goods, allowing soldiers to live in their houses without permission, etc.
2. Natural rights = Rights that everyone are born with and cannot be taken away

It was necessary because they needed to convince the States that the time had come for the United Colonies to split and declare independence from England.
