When it becomes necessary for a country to be separated from another, they should give their reasons why. The reasons being all men are equal and those men have rights, those rights being life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness. The government gets their power from the people, and if the government makes wrong decisions the people can change or get rid of the government. Even though people are allowed to change a government if bad, if people change the government it can only be done for the better. And if the government is bad it is the people’s duty to change and replace it. King George has done some bad things to the colonies, and these are some of them.
He taxed the colonists without representation. He kept many troops in the colonies without our opinion. He also brought on the quartering act. Then He cut off trades from colonies to all parts of the world. He also wouldn’t let the government pass laws that would help the colonies. And he sometimes sent us over seas to be trilled for crimes that we did not commit. And that is only a short list of his mistakes.
In the times of hardships in the colonies we have asked time and time again for free government of a change in it, but every time we have been met with more and more hardships. We tried to remind them the reason we came to the new world, but they ignored it. Those of us that are gathered here are saying that we are and want to be free! We pledge to work together to make sure this happens!

This is an excellent posting. I really like how you identified all of the important ideas and put them into language that anyone can understand. That is exactly what a good summary does. Keep up the excellent work!

This is an excellent post because you have most of the declaration of independence in this and you also make it easy text which in over all is good. On the appearance of it is good because you used the format of the first paragraph of the D.E.C. had why they should be a free country, the second paragraph was the reasons they wanted to go against him and what the unfair things the King did. Also the text context like the 'we' and the 'he' is good because when you read it it makes you feel like you were one of the people who wrote, signed, or were a pilgrim. this is a great post of a summary because it is short and in a understandable text suitable for all ages. This is also very good because all of the people have a hard time understanding the original text of the D.E.C. but people appreciate the effort someone has put to make a good quality summary in plain English.
