Decalration+of+Independence+aniap

Hello, my name is Steven Hopkins, I was born on March 7,1707 in Providence, RI and i was self-educated. I am a Mercahnt, and I am representing Rhode Island.I signed The Declaration of Independence because I don't want to be controlled by other people I want to be my own person and live my own life. In 1775 i was a member of the Comittie of Public Saftey,of Rhode Island and a delegate to the General Congress. I was relected again in 1776 and i had the honnor to sign The Declaration of Independence. I firmly opposed the opressive acts of Great Britian. The grievances that have is He won't let us choose our own judges, and instead he chooses them all himself, so they're all on his side, He sends lots of English soldiers here when there isn't even a war, and makes us let them live in our own houses,He sends lots of English soldiers here when there isn't even a war, and makes us let them live in our own houses. That's why I am here today to tell you to sign The Declaration of Independence, would you rather live your life by people controling you or live it the way you want to. So "Give me liberty ore give me death"
