Answer:

US people opposed to the system of monarchy because they thought that the British Monarchy was corrupt and the king was a tyrant.

Step-by-step explanation:

People in the United States in 1776 was so opposed to the system of monarchy because they thought that the king of Great Britain, George III at that time, was corrupt and didn't protect his kingdom which he was obligated to do. Also, they thought that he was a tyrant because he didn't care about the liberties people was supposed to have. Because of this, the United States decided to adopt a Republican government when it separated from the British.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

By 1776, the majority of American colonist truly supported independence from Great Britain. Indeed, the Declaration of Independence was issued on July 4, 1776, during the Revolutionary War.

People form the colonies were angry with the English monarchy due to the heavy taxation without voice and representation in the British Parliament. Taxes such as the Stamp Act, the Sugar Act or the Tea Act were big causes that started the Revolutionary War.
