The Declaration of Independence was written to A) assert the colonies’ desire to follow Parliament. B) declare independence from the British king. C) establish a colonial government that supported the British king. D) support the British king but not Parliament.
The correct answer is B) declare independence from the British king.
That is the correct answer because that's what even the name stands for. It was a declaration that the colonies were from that moment on free states that have nothing to do with the King.
