Answer 1

The answer is letter D., To convince British citizens to support American Independence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Declaration of Independence was a formal announcement or declaration adopted by the Continental Congress in 1776. It was drafted by Thomas Jefferson, an American diplomat who served as the third USA President. It was written as a voice of a nation (American colonists), who wanted to be free from Great Britain. The reasons for the grievances were stated in the pronouncement with emphasis on the unreasonable taxes imposed to them by King George III. The grievances were individualized into 27 sections, each having its own grounds and reason.

The Declaration of Independence listed the offenses of King George III in order to convince the British citizens that America indeed has the right to have independence. They also showed that King George III's power was destructive to the nation and that they have the right to abolish it, thus the grievances were mentioned one by one.
