Based on document one, I think that Americans declare independence because they wanted political freedom; self-government and representation. There is a saying from the article “Stamp Act Congress Declaration of Rights,” “that it is essential to the freedom of people, and the rights of Englishmen, that no taxes should be imposed on them, but with their own consent, given personally, or by their representatives.” This shows self-government because they desire to create their own laws and to break free from England to show that they don’t need them anymore. Another form of political freedom would be the Boston Tea Party because the Colonists wanted to make their own laws about what they would be taxed on. Christopher Klein wrote in the article,…

The Declaration of Independence represented America’s ideals and morals as a country, and the ideas set the foundation for America today. The colonies were abused by the British Parliament with high taxes without representation, quartering troops, and overall harassment. This caused many American leaders to fight against these actions and prevent them in the future of the nation. The colonies declared independence from the British in result of the abuse with the Declaration of Independence that signifies major ideals that they were not given under British rule.
