The Declaration of Independence

Question 7 • FL-1001370-English 3 A

Which of the following is a central idea in the conclusion of the Declaration of Independence?

Answer
A
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are unalienable rights.
B
The colonies have the right to separate from Britain's oppressive rule.
C
Colonists should have more rights than their British brethren.
D
British citizens will be barred from entering the colonies in the future.

Explanation

In the conclusion, the Declaration states that the colonies are “Free and Independent States” and that their political connection to Britain is dissolved. This expresses the right to separate from Britain’s rule, making B the central idea. The unalienable rights in A appear earlier in the Declaration, not in its conclusion.
