Dec.+of+Independance+giannagb11

Hello, my name is Francis Hopkinson and I am from New Jersey. I am a lawyer and musician, and am speaking because I would like you to sign the Declaration of Independance. Great Britian is always telling us what to do! They tell us what to wear, what laws to make, and who is our jury. I was told what to wear once, and I would never want to be told what to do again! You should trust me because I was the first scholar and have high education. I studied law for a while at the office of Benjamin Chew. I also write music and poems. Some you may have heard include: "A pretty story" and "Battle of the Kegs." I worked with law and the king of England wont let us have our own jury and trials! He also wont let us pass laws for our own good. We tell him to stop, but he doesn't listen. If you sign the Declaration of independence, it would help show him that he needs to stop. "If you never stop fighting for what you believe in, then you will always be victorious."
