Lesson Goal: Analyze the ideas (natural rights, role of the government) and complaints set forth in the Declaration of Independence. I can explain the concept of natural rights as expressed in the Declaration of Independence. I can identify the natural rights specifically expressed in the Declaration of Independence. I can analyze the relationship between natural rights and the role of government. I can recognize the connection between specific grievances in the Declaration of Independence and natural rights’ violations. I can recognize colonial complaints as identified in the Declaration of Independence. WHAT ARE THE IDEAS AND COMPLAINTS IN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE?

John Trumbull painted a presentation of the Declaration of Independence in what is now called Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The painting features the committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence — John Adams, Roger Sherman, Thomas Jefferson (presenting the document), and Benjamin Franklin — standing before John Hancock, the President of the Continental Congress. This painting currently hangs in the U.S. Capitol. DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

Let’s define the term independence… What is an example of independence in every day life? INDEPENDENCE

Delegates argued over whether to seek independence or remain loyal to Great Britain. Many did not want to seek independence as they feared that this would start a war with Great Britain. Others felt that independence was necessary because King George III was an oppressor who was limiting the colonists’ rights and actions. They felt that Great Britain was becoming a tyranny. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: NOTES

In 1776, Thomas Paine stated that it was “common sense” for the colonies to break away from Great Britain. He said that King George was a “royal brute” and the colonies had every right to sever ties. After many months of debate, more than half of the delegates agreed to declare independence from Great Britain. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: NOTES

Thomas Jefferson, the main author, detailed the colonies’ reasons for breaking away with Great Britain. The document argued that the king did not look after the interests of the colonies anymore. He listed the grievances, or complaints, that the colonists had towards the crown. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: NOTES
