After rereading the D.O.I I actually learned a few new things like who where the people who created and signed the deceleration of independence and also learning about the five persons committee and who were those people . Also finding out of why some states of were holding back when it comes to agreeing and finalizing the Declaration of Independence knowing the consequences of losing the revolutionary war . But they decided to push onwards knowing they need to fight and take the risks in order to actually gain their independence from Great Britain and king George . Even the founding fathers where especially Putting there lives on the line when they signed the D.O.I if the colonist lose the war they would’ve been held responsible for committing treason against Great Britain . But they knew that they wanted to push onwards with the D.O.I . Also when reading I learned about a few new definitions and meanings . Like the abuse of power . Referring to how King George was abusing his power against the Colonist . Like forcing the Colonist to pay more taxes on certain goods like stamps , tea , sugar etc, . Also the colonist had no representation at all . Basically saying there’s is no taxation without representation . They had completely had no say what so ever regarding to Great Britain’s policies . This really motivated the Colonist to push for succession from England , but they were many risks they had to take but the outcome were they gained total independence from England.
