25 4 points "The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations [unlawful seizures], all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms; Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." -American Declaration of Independence, July 1776 How does this document describe King George? Was the Declaration an objective and unbiased (not taking sides) statement of the American- British conflict? Explain. [191]
