Question

How did the declaration of independence support the notion of rebelling against britain.

Answer 1

Answer:

In the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson first points out that people deserve very basic rights "among these are life, liberty, an pursuit of happiness." He then goes on to say that if a government is refusing people these rights that "it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing their powers in such form," He then goes on to point out all the ways that the King of England (King George the third) has refused the people of these rights "all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny or these States." In short Thomas Jefferson supports the notion of rebellion or revolution by stating that all people deserve basic equal rights and when those rights are taken away it is the duty of the people to rise up and fight against whatever Tyrannical force is threatening their rights. In this case the tyrannical force is the King of England and his actions towards the colonies and it is now the duty of the colonists to rise up and fight against him and his armies.
