Answer:
People had rights not granted by their government
Explanation:
The declaration of independence mentioned the existence of "Natural Rights". This natural rights are given to the people and there is not a single thing that the government can do to violate them.
Natural rights basically consist of three things:
- Rights to life
The government must protect the citizens' life and take security measurement to prevent attacks from both internal and external threat
- Rights to liberty
The government shall not limit Citizens freedom. They should create a limit on what can and cannot be intervene by the government
- Rights to pursue happiness
The government cannot regulate citizens' private lifes. This include things such as the type of person they want to marry, the type of career they want to pursue, etc.

Complaint #3
I find that the first selfish thing the British did was in the early 1760's, when they imposed taxes on the colonists without their consent. The colonists then ordered no taxation without representation. I chose this as my first complaint because the colonists had to use their own money to pay for the British governments debt for The French and Indian war.
Complaint #2
In my opinion the third most important complaint was "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures." This means that when the war was in a time of peace the colonists inferred that the British troops were going back to Britain. They didn't though, lots of troops stayed in America. In fact most stayed at the colonists' houses for free.
Complaint #4
The lowest ranked out of the 5 complaints to me was when the British cut off trade with all parts of the world. England only allowed the colonies to trade with them. They clearly did not want to trade with just the British. Therefore they had to improvised by making their own clothes, tools, growing their own food etc. There was a bright side of this complaint though. The colonies became reliant on each other, which brought them closer together.

Complaint #5
Another unjustified thing the British did was depriving them in many cases, of the benefit of trial by juries. For example during the sugar act colonists smuggled goods that had taxes on them (so that they didn't have to pay). Well the British obviously didn't like that. So instead of colonists having their own trial the British just arrested them. They didn't give the people a chance to prove if they were innocent or not.
Complaint #1
<span>The fourth complaint to me is, "He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people." For example in 1768, the Representative Assembly of Massachusetts sent a letter to the King and his parliament. It was about making the law disappear about the British restricting America. I put this as the fourth one because the individual rights of the people are necessary in a free and democratic society. Without them America wouldn't be what it is today.</span>
Answer:
Persian Wars. Led by Athens and Sparta, the Greek city-states were engaged in a great war with the Persian Empire at the beginning of the fifth century B.C.
The Rise of Athens. The defeat of the Persians marked the beginning of Athenian political, economic and cultural dominance. In 507 B.C., the Athenian nobleman Cleisthenes had overthrown the last of the autocratic tyrants and devised a new system of citizen self-governance that he called demokratia.
Athens Under Pericles. In the 450s, the Athenian general Pericles consolidated his own power by using all that tribute money to serve the citizens of Athens, rich and poor.
Art and Architecture. Pericles also used the tribute money to support Athenian artists and thinkers. For instance, he paid to rebuild the parts of Athens that the Persian Wars had destroyed.
