Answer:

Students should be familiar (at a minimum) with the beginning of the second part: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights; that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Step-by-step explanation:

The second portion of the document describes how King George III had disregarded those natural rights to establish a tyranny over the colonies and sets up a justification for American independence.

Hope it will help : )
