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

3. The Continental Congress approved the D.o.I (Declaration of Independence) and announced the separation of the 13 North American British colonies from Great Britain. 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.

The American colonists wanted to be free from England because of what they saw as unreasonable taxes made by the king.

The meaning of the natural rights in the Declaration of Independence are life which means that one has the right to hold the ownership of their OWN life. Liberty which intends people to have lawful freedom without depriving anyone else of their freedom. Finally the pursuit of happiness means that people can do whatever makes them happy as long as it is legal.

The Declaration of Independence was written by the five man committee which includes, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston in Philadelphia. The purpose of the writing the Declaration of Independence was to break free from England. It was necessary because it proposed a new theory of government and separated the 13 colonies from England's laws, which allowed them to be a free country.
