Answer: To inspire sympathy

Step-by-step explanation:

If a revolting state models its declaration of independence, with its list of grievances and reasons then the people will likely sympathize compared to a revolting state with no reasoning. This shows a parraell to the relationship between the colonies and britain compared to the state of texas and the united states. Hope this helps!
