Question

Which aspect of the Declaration of Independence marks the most radicaldeparture from previous political documents?
A. It advocated open rebellion against a sitting monarch.
B. It acknowledged that people should have representation in their government.
C. It declared a right to be free from taxation.
D. It was drafted by a committee

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A. It advocated open rebellion against a sitting monarch.

Explanation:

A is correct answer because Declaration itself proclaims that Britain has no power over its colonies, and thus that the only way to free themselves from Britain is to win a war. This means to actually expel Britain from the continent.

All other options are presented in the Declaration, but are not so radically as the first option.
