How Does Our Rights Change The Government
By the way things have happened, we think it is okay to split apart from England who have been attached to. God is okay with us doing so.

By finding this land we think we have our own rights. All men are equal, god has given us our own rights, and the rights you have should not be taken away from you. We believe in life, liberty, and the right to pursue our happiness. We get to keep and use these laws of our own to keep our rights, and the government can not do anything against it.

We as the people can change the government if they fail on giving us our rights. We can do so, so everyone is happy.

Changing the government is very serious. You can do so even if it has been that way for a long time, but only if it is right. It is our responsibility to make sure the government doesn’t take over and control us. We as the people are in complete control.

We think it is time we do our own thing and control what we do.

The king has ignored our laws, we need. He has taken control of our entire country. He will not let people in charge do what they are supposed to. He has made his own laws and we have to obey by them. He is making us pay taxes to him, which do not better us. We have to house his people (soldiers). He has also stopped us from trading with people. This is unacceptable. He has killed our people, taken our boats, and burned our towns. He is forcing us to go to war, because this is mad. We cannot continue to live this way. He is turning others against the colonists.

We have tried countless amount of times to tell the king how we feel, for only it to become worse than before. We are tired of waiting, and we are only getting madder than before. This has to come to an

    The colonists have 3 main charges on King George the 3rd. The first charge is the Quartering Act, that wasn’t fair to the colonists. They had to house the soldiers that they hated with despair! The second charge was “Taxation Without Representation.” The colonists had no idea they were going to be taxed. The King just gave them the taxes without any notice. The last charge was The Boston Tea Party. Samuel Adams and the Sons Of Liberty boarded three ships and threw 342 chests of tea overboard! This pulled us even closer to war.…

    How can a ruler truly rule when he has "abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection, and waging War against us?" He has "sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People." He has forced the colonists' hand into waging war against him by not ruling as one should. He even pardoned his men who murdered the colonists. He showed exactly how much he cared for his people by letting criminals free and subjugating the…

    King George III has injured us emotionally and physically. We know that we want liberty and freedom, so let’s go get it. Patrick Henry in the “Speech in the Virginia Convention” commented, “I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death”(Henry)! People in this country would rather die than be under Britain rule any more. We have a plan to star our own country strong.…

    The colonists have governed themselves for 150 years, and now the king wants to control us? There is no way under god's hot sun that we will allow this kind of foolishness. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. With the laws that you placed on us like we are some sort of object, and don't have a right to live is inhumane, and they need to be repealed.…

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.”- Declaration of Independence, 1776. God is the one who gave us our rights and that everyone is created equal, no matter what gender or color you are.

    The English Bill of Rights precedent for other governments led the idea of unalienable rights to become a hot topic. Citizens under the French and British monarchies believed that “The promise of those rights can be denied, suppressed, or just remain unfilled, but it does not die (Hunt, 175).” Therefore, our rights still exist even if our government suppresses them. Those rights will always be there no matter how much the government tries to belittle them. The uprising of peoples’ belief in their own rights spurred the creation of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.…

    To ensure that our government does not violate our natural rights we have put certain mechanisms in place. Natural rights are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence (Preamble). These mechanisms include a separation of powers, and a system of checks and balances which are all under the constitution. This is under our constitutional government and has worked for our country for many years.…

    As Thomas Hutchinson said, “No middle ground exists ‘between the supreme authority of Parliament and the total dependence of the colonies: it is impossible there should be two independent legislatures in one and the same state.’” They would do well to remember who their mother country is and to fall back in line. I do not know your thoughts on this, but I believe that if we stay united there would be nothing standing in our way as a country to conquer mass lands.…
