Question

The Declaration of Independence
[1] Every year on July 4, Americans gather together to set off fireworks and celebrate their national pride. Why is this date so special? To answer this question, we have to go back in time to 1775. In that year, the colonists in North America were tired of paying taxes to the King of England. They wanted to separate from England and start their own country. Leaders in the colonies got together and wrote down all of the reasons why they wanted independence from Britain. (A) It was called the Declaration of Independence.

[2] A small team of men, including John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, worked together to write the Declaration of Independence. (B) They didn’t only say that they wanted independence. Instead, the writers of the Declaration made a careful and detailed argument. First, they explained that all people have certain rights. These include the right to live, to have freedom, and to find happiness. Then they showed how the King of England denied them those rights. According to their argument, any government that limited those rights was a poor government. And it had to be removed.

[3] The next summer, the final draft of the Declaration was ready. Important figures from all over the colonies signed their names to it to show support. The day the document was signed, July 4, 1776, became known as Independence Day. (C)

[4] When the Declaration was signed, it gave the American colonists the strength they needed to win the war. (D) They fought for seven more years.
