Declaration of Independence claimed by colonial leaders
A verbose excerpt catalogs grievances against King George III, outlining obstructed laws, quartering of troops, taxation without consent, and denial of trial by jury. It asserts the colonies’ right to independence, lists signers including Hancock, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, and Lee, and declares unity in pursuit of liberty under divine providence.
