Question

How does the author use paragraphs 30-31 to refine their ideas? Cite evidence in your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

From paragraphs 30-31, the author refines their idea of the Declaration of Independence by revealing that their call for independence was because they were being oppressed by the British and have made several petitions for redress in a humble way, appealed to them for justice but they were being turned down and even maltreated for it.

Therefore, they rise up to be free and separate from the British.

Below are evidences that supports my answer:

From Paragraph 30:

"In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury."

From Paragraph 31:

"We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends."

Explanation:

The paragraphs are part of "The Declaration of Independence" which was written by Thomas Jefferson by the consent of the committee. It stated the clear reasons the people of America sought for independence from the British. The tyranny and injustice from the Prince was unbearable so they needed to separate.

Answer 2

In paragraphs 30-31 the author refines his ideas by showing the indifference and violence of the British government towards the petition of the American colonists.

The text shown in the question above is part of the US Declaration of Independence.

These documents show the reasons that led the American colonists to declare war on England, to achieve territorial independence.

The document alleges that the American colonies were exploited and very violently humiliated by the British government. In paragraphs 30-31 the author refines these ideas by stating that:

• The settlers had many problems with the British government, but they all tried to resolve their problems peacefully and diplomatically.
• However, Great Britain was indifferent to the requests made by the settlers and instead of solving the problems decided to increase them.
• According to these paragraphs, the British government became even more violent, unjustly oppressing the colonies.
• This showed that pacifism was not an option for the British government and therefore the colonies should cut all relations with Great Britain, even if violently, guaranteeing independence.

The Declaration of Independence is one of the most important documents in the world and served as an inspiration for other colonies dissatisfied with European rule.
