Answer is B.

The United States Declaration of Independence stated that the thirteen colonies were now sovereign states. It contains many solid arguments and it was drafted by Thomas Jefferson. It starts with the affirmation of one people needing to dissolve political links with another. Further, there are several arguments involving the king, as being a "Tyrant, unfit to be ruler of a free people."
