“Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.” The theme of this passage from the Declaration of Independence is best described as: many attempts were made to obtain assistance from the British people the British people were considered brethren or allies connections and correspondence were interrupted the British legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction over the colonies

The British legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction over the colonies- I would say this is the main theme of this passage even though the American people have beseeched the British people to treat them fairly, the undeniable fact was summed up by that sentence showing the unfriendly intentions of the British parliament with regard to the 13 colonies.
