Declaration of Congress Justifies Armed Resistance
The Continental Congress at Philadelphia declares the colonies’ right to resist British tyranny, cites unlawful acts, and asserts a duty to preserve liberty. It urges unity, warns of further oppression, and vows to defend freedoms with force if needed. Led by John Hancock, the document frames independence as a necessary defense of life, property, and civil rights.
