Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. In the Declaration of Independence, there are many ideas about the role of government and about the rights the people should have. A big part of the Declaration of Independence was the list of the grievances the colonists had against the King of England. Some of those complaints dealt with how the King acted regarding the laws of the colonies and the process of making those laws.
The colonists believed the King didn’t respect their laws. They said that he refused to agree with the laws that had been passed in the colonies. They also said that he had prevented the Governors from passing laws that were important to the operation of the colonies. Additionally, they said the King refused to pass laws affecting large numbers of people unless they were willing to forgo representation in the lawmaking body. They also were unhappy that he would disband a legislative body when the representatives of these bodies complained that the King was abusing the rights of the people.
The colonists clearly believed the King didn’t respect them, their rights, their laws, and their ability to complain to him about these issues.
