CIVIL RIGHTS!

Step-by-step explanation:

The document was created as a response to Great Britain overtaxing the colonists, so the founding fathers decided to send a declaration to King George declaring that America would be free, and that was the cause of the American Revolution.

Hope this helps, sorry if not tho
