Why is no specific name given to the he in the Declaration of Independence?

Because the "HE" refers to all mankind in relation to the point of the Declaration of Independence While no name is given to the "He" in the Declaration, there is a clear reference back to the "present King of Great Britain" at the end of the second paragraph. Therefore, "He" clearly specifically means King George III. That still does not answer why the Declaration did not say King George III or the present King of Great Britain, George III or something using his actual name. Most likely it was out of the civility that prevailed at the time. In my opinion, referring to the King by name, would have made the issue very personal and the revolution was business, not personal.
