The Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms
This declaration was written by Thomas Jefferson and John Dickinson, on behalf of the representitives of the United Colonies of North America. Its intended audience was the Parliment of Great Britian. It basically explains why the people of the colonies are going to defend themselves agaisnt Britian if neccessary, yet not break bonds with them. It is written in a tone that is clearly understandable to all, so their point can not be misconcieved. They justify this by talking about how Britian wants to have absolute power over everything, and this was not intended by "the divine author".
