The second part of the Declaration lists twenty-seven complaints by the American colonies against the British government.
The major ones concerned British taxes on Americans and the presence of British troops in the colonies.
After the list of complaints, Jefferson wrote this strong statement of independence:
That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States they have the full Power to levy War, conduct Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. The last statement of the Declaration of Independence was meant to influence the delegates into giving strong support for that most serious step -- revolution: And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor. 【終り】
