Kevin Acosta 495 N 3rd St Harrisburg, PA 17101 July 31, 2013 Dear King George III of Great Britain, I am writing to you because we the colonists think your laws and rules are unfair. I write only after long thought about the many issues between us. Some issues and events of the last few years include freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and raising taxes unfairly. You see, in the American colonies, we believe that the purpose of government is to represent the peoples and their needs. Government should establish known laws. It should follow the principles of John Locke, such as ______________________________ and __________ ____________________. These ideas mean that ______________________________. Unfortunately, you have not lived up to these expectations as a ruler. One example of how you have disappointed us is ______________________________. Another example is ___________ ___________________. A third example is ______________________________. Please remember that we did try to reason with you first. Remember when we _____________ _________________, and then you ______________________________? Or, there was the time we ______________________________. Because you have failed to address our concerns, the American colonists are declaring complete independence from you and from your country, Great Britain. We are no longer ______________________________ and from now on, we will ____________________________. Sincerely, Your Name

I'm not sure I understand.

What I'm getting at is, maybe the answers are in your reading. John Locke's got more than 2 principles. Maybe if you look more into it, the answers will be right there for you.

Dear King George III of Great Britain, I am writing to you because I would like to inform you that you are no longer our king. I write only after long thought about the many issues between us. Some issues and events of the last few years include that you have abused the colonists’ rights repeatedly and you refused to approve laws that are good to the colonies. You see, in the American colonies, we believe that the purpose of government is to protect the citizens that live here. Government should approve laws such as no drinking and driving and that minors should attend school regularly. It should follow the principles of John Locke, such as people having natural rights. This idea means that people should be able to have rights that come naturally to them. Unfortunately, you have not lived up to these expectations as a ruler. One example of how you have disappointed us is you didn’t approve the laws we suggested for our safety. Another example is you didn’t answer our petitions. A third example is you didn’t live up to your expectations as a king. Please remember that we did try to reason with you first. Remember when we suggested laws for our safety, and then you disapproved them? Or, there was the time we created some petitions, and then you didn’t answer them. Because you have failed to address our concerns, the American colonists are declaring complete independence from you and from your country, Great Britain. We are no longer under your control and from now on, we will create our own laws and elect our own leader.
