Question

Which of the following statements is true about what was included in the

Declaration of Independence?

- A list of grievances that the King of England had done to the colonies
- A list of the three branches of government
- That the first President of the United States was George Washington
- The bill of rights

Answer 1

Answer: Choice A only

======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The Declaration of Independence listed out the various problems the colonists had with the King of England. This is what led the colonists to revolt and form their own country.

The list of three branches of government aren't found in this document. Rather they are mentioned in the United States Constitution. The same can be said about the Bill of Rights. These are the first 10 amendments.

George Washington being the first president was never mentioned in either document for two main reasons

• He became president after each document was made.
• There's no need to list who is president because the documents are basic outlines on how a government should function (rather than who specifically should or has run it).
