Answer:

The central argument presented in the Declaration of Independence is that the people had a right to choose their own government.

Step-by-step explanation:

The American colonists that had been sent by the British government in order to occupy the lands from the New World began to opose their rule. They wanted to be free to choose their own representatives, governors and to live by their own rules. After the Revolutionary War (1776), delegates of the Continental Congress (American colonists) were asked to write down the coloninsts' intentions, which would later become the Declaration of Independence (July 4). This marked the beginning of the American Independence from the British Empire, after so many years of living by their rule.

Hello There!

There was one main central argument in the delegation on independence. They wanted a government to protect the people and this was because Britain did not protect the rights of the colonists who lived there. This led them to think that a new government has got to be formed.
