ANSWER
MEMORANDUM
To: [Recipient]
From: [Your Name]
Date: [Date]
Subject: Summary of the Declaration of Independence
Introduction
The Declaration of Independence, written by the Founding Fathers of the United States in 1776, outlines the reasons why the American colonies sought independence from British rule.
Problem
The problem at hand is the oppressive and unjust governance imposed by the British Crown upon the American colonies.
Consequences
As a result of British rule, the American colonies have suffered from various injustices, including the violation of their natural rights, unjust taxation, and the denial of representation in the British Parliament.
Proposed Solution
In response to these grievances, the authors of the Declaration of Independence propose the establishment of an independent nation, where all individuals are entitled to certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They argue that governments should derive their power from the consent of the governed, and if a government fails to protect the rights of its citizens, the people have the right to alter or abolish it.
In conclusion, the Declaration of Independence asserts the colonies’ intent to separate from British rule due to the violation of their rights and proposes the establishment of a new nation founded on principles of individual liberty and self-governance.
Thank you,
