In the context of the declaration of independence, what does the author mean by “candid world”?

So, King George III has repeatedly shown, in various ways to be enumerated in what follows in the text of the Declaration, that he intends to establish an absolute tyranny over "these States." Note that Jefferson does not refer to them as "colonies" but as "states."

I hope this will help a least a little bit love!
