Answer:
The historical experiences of the colonists that seem to have exerted the greatest influence on the authors of state declarations of rights include the grievances mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. These grievances against the King of Great Britain, such as refusing to pass laws, obstructing justice, and imposing taxes without consent, reflect the colonists' struggle for self-governance and freedom from tyranny. Additionally the events leading up to the Declaration of Independence, including Richard Henry Lee's resolution for independence, the establishment of the Continental Army, and the increasing support for independence among the colonists, would have influenced the authors of state declarations of rights.
