Declaration+of++independence++hopekr11

=Hello my name is Roger Sherman and I am from the colony of Newton, Massachusetts. I am a lawyer, and I am speaking because I believe that all men are created equal.= = = =I believe that all people should be treated with the same type of respect. England rule, however, treats people differently based on where people live, what family you were born into, and what privilages you are allowed. I am signing this declaration because as a child I received special privilages in the area of education. I was taught to make decision for myself, yet the King of England will not let us make our own decisions. This must change.= = = =Much of what I learned from my childhood was taught to me by Rev. Samual Danbar at the local parrish. Rev. Danbar, who was schooled at Harvard, helped me form my philosophy of life. My philosophies have allowed me to serve on countless committee's and to be elected to the continental congress. I have been told that I am a stern man who chooses my words wisely, yet not afraid to stand for my principles.= = = =Our most important grievences are that the King of England won't let us pass any laws. When we try to pass laws, the King won't allow us to put them in place. The King will not let us to choose our own judges or let us have a jury in our courts. He sends us new government officials that we do not want or need. We want the right to govern this new land for ourselves.= = = =My good friend, Benjamin Franklin, and I believe that "Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other me, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature." "Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants." I say this today: I refuse to governed by tyrants!= = = == []
