The Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson.
·
Task 2: Do some research into King
George III and British colonial activity around the world in the 1700's.
Imagine you are King George III receiving this Declaration at the time it was
written. Write an answer of 150 to 170
words, to Thomas Jefferson and the representatives of the thirteen colonies,
citing lines from the Declaration to support your reactions and reasoning in
your response.
Dear Jefferson:
I gave you my greetings Jefferson. It is admirable to read complains and had the courage to send it to me. Of course I want to help you all, it's a big pleasure. With the first point i want to help is: "plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the livesof our people" I can sand you my men to help cleaning he sea and reconstruct your towns.
Then, the second point : "I refuse his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good." Have you ever heard about a revolution? You can make the people rise and demand the rights everyone deserves.
At the third point: "for imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury" Then if you have decided to do a revolution, maybe you should write a new constitution, one that includes everyone rights. It is good, people would select you as their new leader.
