Question

Why does this section of the Declaration of Independence most likely switch focus from what the king has

done to what the colonists have done?
A. to emphasize the colonists' wise actions compared to the king's foolish actions
B. to provide support for the colonists' claim that the king's government must be done away with
c. to refute potential counterclaims that the colonists are rushing to leave the monarchical government
D. to portray the colonists in an even better light than they already are when compared to the violent
actions of the monarchy

Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it isn't D, it would be A. It's a comparison between the colonists and the king. You wouldn't call the king's actions "foolish" per say.
