Declaration of Independence

Grievance from The Declaration of Independence

"He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people."

In The Declaration of Independence written by Thomas Jefferson and his fellow framers rebel against the opposition of England, being the strongest and most dominant country at the time. In one of the many grievances mentioned in The Declaration of Independence, the phrase listed above argues about the colonies not being able to have a say in the English Parliament. The colonists are recognized as a part of England, but do not have a representative in the government, angering the colonists greatly not being able to decide what is best for their own colonies.
Comparing this situation to the present, the colonies have become an independent country and is now known as the United States of America. Because the colonists fought so greatly to become part of the Parliament and was denied access, as a separate state country the United States gives each and every state representatives and senators. Following what The Declaration of Independence fought for along with many other grievances, the United States has currently become the most dominant and powerful country in the world. Without the brave rebelling colonists, this country will not be in the position it currently is to this day.
