A It discussed self-evident truths.
B It gave three examples of unalienable rights.
C It stated colonists' complaints against the king.
D It broke colonial ties with Britain.

Answer 1

The answer is C. It stated colonists' complaints against the king. The Declaration of Independence states specific complaints against the king. This is how it justifies colonial independence. It does give examples of unalienable rights, discuss self-evident truths, and break ties with Britain. However, these parts do not defend the proclaiming of independence.

Answer 2

The Declaration of Independence justifies colonial independence by C. stating colonists' complaints against the King.

The Declaration of Independence noted 27 grievances and complaints against the King such as:

• for depriving Colonists the right to be tried in front of a jury
• for quartering British soldiers in American homes
• for limiting American trade with the world

The Founding Fathers said that these grievances were enough to sever ties with the British because the British government was no longer acting in the best interests of the American people.

We can therefore conclude by saying that the the main justification for the Declaration of Independence were the complaints against the King.
