L Pretest: Unit 1 Question 11 of 24
How does the following statement in the Declaration of Independence
support the conclusion that America must form its own government?
Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies;
and such is now the necessity which constrains them to
alter their former systems of government. The history of
the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated
injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the
establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To
prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
