Decleration of Independance

When people feel they are being badly treated by the government, and want to brake away from the government, they must tell the government why they fell they are being badly treated. Everyone is equal and everyone has rights that cannot be taken away, these rights are life, liberty and happiness, when the government is taking away these rights that is when you should brake away. The king of England was bad to America and that is why you must now change work to change the government, but you my not change the government for small unimportant things, but only things that take away all of your rights.

King George the third, has done some terrible things to the people who he ruled over such as, cutting off trade with parts of the world, putting taxes on us without asking us first, thirdly took away our rights to be us judge by the trial by jury, he sent soldiers to the villages when we were peaceful without asking our permission first, finally he has transported us over seas for crimes we did not commit, as you can see these are terrible things, so we change our government.

King George the third is a king who’s character is only thought about when you think of the word tyrant, he is therefore not suitable to rule the people of America. We have tried to talk to the soldiers about how we felt we were being treated, however the refused to listen to what we were saying. We therefore declare that America is a free country however when in war with Britain we are enemies but when we are not we are peaceful and harmonious together. So from now on we the representatives of America declare that America now is a free country and not under the laws of King George the Third.

This is an excellent posting. I really like how you identified all of the important ideas and put them into langauge that anyone can understand. That is exactly what a good summary does and for that reason this post is one of the first entries going into our class hall of fame. Well done!
