Excerpt 3 – Section 1 The purpose of government is to protect our rights, government gets its power from the approval of the people

Excerpt 4 – Section 1 If a government takes away your basic rights, you have the power to change it or destroy it and create a new government

Excerpt 5 – Section 1 King George has a long record of abusing his power and he is a bully to the colonies

Excerpt 6 – Section 2 Here are the facts – he has refused to approve laws that are needed

Excerpt 7 – Section 2 During this time, colonists have repeatedly asked for relief, but their requests have only brought more suffering – he is unfit to be our ruler
