Our Government need to be changed. My client committed this "so" called act of treason because of the kings long list of abuse to the citizens of his country. My client isn't the only one who believes this. The colonists believed that King George was hurting not only them, but the whole world. They say he was not doing the proper things that a King should do,as in taking care of the people he ruled over. He was not looking at their best interest, but his. He is not passing laws the correct ways, he is making people uncomfortable, and becoming a tyranny. The King is also guilty of being completely unfair to his people. He took away the people's representatives because they were beginning to fight back for the people's rights. Every man is born with the right to be free.

"Dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another." American people(as in the colonists) can completely separate from the British because they are not considered a part of them. The colonists believed that the King was no longer fit to control them, because he did not want to let them have any type of freedom or control over their own land and groups. He taxed them just for the fun of it, and tried to belittle them.

The King is putting corrupted people in office who will "follow his will". He is bribing these men with their titles in society and the amount of money they are receiving from him. Not only are the law makers corrupt, but the militia force is under his tyrannical rule. He is sending them over seas to the colonists home to harass and threaten them into following his unlawful rules. He has taken his own people out of his protection and has claimed war against them. My client feels that his rights as a person have been violated and that he has been taking advantage of by the over controlling King.

The third law of Treason is "If a man do levy war against our lord the king in his realm." The Declaration of Independence violates the 3rd law of treason in this statement: "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor."

The King says that he is not ruling over these colonists, but yet he feels he has the right to undermine and abolish the government that they created for themselves. How can he take these people into his justice system for breaking his laws, when these people are not under his control?
