Answer 2

C). The list outlined how the British broke the social contract.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jefferson provides the 'list of grievances of the colonists against the Britishers' to outline the manner in which 'British snapped the social contract.' It highlights how the Britishers denied the required social cooperation, principles, and the rights of the colonists. This denial of social compliance led to the oppression of the weaker sections of the society which Jefferson pinpoints through his speech and justifies that why the Declaration of Independence was necessary. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
