Step-by-step explanation:

George III. The king of Britain during the American Revolutionary War. He was known for insisting on royal privilege. The stubbornness of George and of his government officials is often blamed for the loss of the thirteen colonies that became the United States.

Answer:My 7th grade civics teacher described the Declaration as a Taylor Swift break up song towards the king. Since Jefferson wrote it (and it was basically a list of complaints) just imagine him as a whiny teenager waiting for her boyfriend to text her back

PS, I know the Founding Fathers had MORE THAN ENOUGH reasons to "break up" with Britain, but I like turning history into a subject that's more modern, so that it's easier to understand
