Answer:

He has been contemptuous; he has ignored colonists' efforts to make their own laws. He is also callous in that he reveals no concern for the colonists. ... His attitude reveals how he is unfit to be a king.

It galvanizes the colonies to feel even more resentment towards the king and strive to gain their independence.The signers of the Declaration knew that their announcement could mean war with powerful, well-equipped Britain.

hope this helps!!:)
