Answer:
Sierra Nevada, also called Sierra Nevadas
Answer: b. King George III
Details:
Jefferson provided a list of "facts to be submitted to a candid world" to demonstrate that the British king, George III, had been seeking to establish "an absolute Tyranny over these States" (the colonial states which were declaring their independence).
Jefferson's list included items such as:
- The king refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public good.
- The king had forbidden colonial governors to enact laws or implement laws without his assent (which, as the prior point noted, he was in no hurry to give).
- The king forced people to give up their rights to legislative assembly or forced legislative bodies to meet in difficult places that imposed hardships on them.
- The king dissolved legislative assemblies and then refused for a long time to have other assemblies elected.
- The king obstructed justice in the colonies and made judges dependent on his will alone for their salaries and their tenure in office.
- The king kept standing armies in place in the colonies in peacetime, without the consent of the colonial legislatures.
- The king imposed taxes without the colonists' consent.
These and additional items listed in the Declaration were meant to support the colonies' position that tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy, and therefore revolution was justified.
Answer:
D. treasonous
Explanation:
At first when Great Britain received the Declaration of Independence from the colonists, they were silent about it. The signers of the document knew that by doing so that they have validated their rebellion. The British saw the signers to be treasonous.
The Declaration of Independence was ratified on July 4th, 1776. It contained the grievances of Americans (who were under the British rule at this time) against the rule of the British King and they sought for independence.
