Question

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

These lines establish the __________________ for the Declaration of Independence.

Answer 3

The first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence explains why it is being written (the purpose of the document): first, to declare that America is separating itself from England, and also that the Declaration will state the reasons why the colonies are separating themselves.

Answer 6

“Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.”

The theme of this passage from the Declaration of Independence is best described as:

many attempts were made to obtain assistance from the British people
the British people were considered brethren or allies
connections and correspondence were interrupted
the British legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction over the colonies
