LAD #3-Declaration of Independence

1. Democratic Principles
In the Declaration of Independence, it states that all men are created equal, a characteristic of democracy that all are equal. All people are required to have the basic rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That if the government at any point, becomes destructive, the people have the right to abolish it and rebuild a new government that follows the ideal principles previously listed.

2. List a Handful of Grievances
He(the King)
-He passed bad laws that were not good for the overall public
-He made many calls and decisions based on his opinion alone
-He kept armies prepared and fighting without legislative approval
-"Taxation without representation"
-Taking away American charters and repealing valuable laws
-Burned towns, plundered ships and hurt civilians

3. The Conclusion
The Americans have warned the British that the Americans did not approve of certain acts such as taxation without representation and the Intolerable Acts. The Americans need to break free of England because they feel that they are being treated unfairly and they need to be successful on their own.
