Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It was a last ditch effort to try and bring the British (mostly King George) to its senses. The signers of the Declaration took their position very seriously. They were committing treason if the British could get their hands on them, so they tried very hard to make Britain understand that even though they (the American signers) were in grave danger, they were very determined to make their position crystal clear.

To declare the reasons the colonies wanted to separate from England.
