Question

Read the quote from the declaration of independence "for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world" which reason best explains why this grievance was included in the declaration?

Answer 1

It was included in the Declaration to show America's Independence from all other countries

Answer 2

This grievance was included in the declaration of independence because the colonies deserved to enjoy their right to trade with other nations other than Great Britain.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Declaration of Independence is mostly composed of grievances (complaints for unfair treatment) against King George III and the British Parliament, who had passed the Intolerable Acts (1774) after the Boston Tea Party (the colonists threw all the tea they had produced into the Boston Harbor in response to unfair British taxation). As part of these acts, the British Parliament punished the colonies by forbiding them to trade with any other nation (France or Spain, for example). This policy was meant to make Britain wealthier.
