The Declaration of Independence

Question 3 • (J. Blaum) 0231 10th Grade English 1st 9 Weeks 26-27

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

Answer
A
People have unalienable rights such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
B
The colonists 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

The conclusion declares that the colonies are “free and independent states” and have the authority to act separately from Britain. This supports the idea that the colonists have the right to separate from Britain’s oppressive rule. The statement about unalienable rights appears earlier in the Declaration, not in its conclusion.
