Answer:
The Declaration of Independence of British Rule
August 2, 1776
The Declaration was signed today by Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin, and others. A year ago, a revolution had started. The American people want to be free from British rule and their taxes. The Declaration clearly states that we have natural rights that we are born into. The King tried to take away the rights of the people by taking away the right to bear arms and pay unfair taxes. In the Declaration it says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." We have certain rights that British rule took from us and that is our "Unalienable rights."
