Jefferson asserts that the colonists have responded to oppressive actions by the British government with a series of petitions and appeals for redress, highlighting their attempts to seek peaceful resolutions. However, he notes that these efforts have been met with repeated injuries and a lack of responsiveness, ultimately leading the colonists to recognize the necessity of taking a stand for their rights. This escalation reflects their commitment to securing liberty, as they feel compelled to declare independence in light of continued injustices.
The battlecry was "Taxation without representation". The British government imposed taxes upon the colonists; but the colonists had no say in what was taxed and by how much.
they were denied permisson because they had no say in anything the british did! it wasnt fair to them at all
The colonists claimed that the stamp, sugar, tea, and townshend acts violated the right to only be taxed with representation. The colonists had no representatives in the Mother country; this is where the popular phrase "no taxation without representation" came from.
The colonists were angry because of the famous line "no taxation without representation." Britain kept passing acts and the colonists had no say. The Sugar Act and Townshend Acts had been passed before the Stamp Act. In the end, Britain did repeal (get rid of) the Stamp Act, but then passed an act requiring the colonists to house British soldiers.
They thought that it was unfair because the tax was too high and the colonists were unable to afford it, they had thought the laws were unfair because England was trying to control them. the colonists wanted independence and were not going to pay the unfair tax on everything. taxation but no representation e.g. vote or voice
ambiguously. The -ly gives it away. An adverb modifies a verb. "He responded ambiguously." "He responded quickly." The verb "responded" was modified to say how "he responded".

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson suggests that the colonists should now consider their British brethren as adversaries rather than allies. He emphasizes that, despite past connections and shared heritage, the actions of the British government have made it clear that the colonists must seek independence to secure their rights and freedoms. Jefferson argues that the time has come to break away from British rule and establish a separate identity based on liberty and self-governance.

It depends on your perspective. The colonists would say yes. The British would say no.

According to the Monticello web site, Jefferson did not say it. It was said by John Sharp Williams in a speech he gave about Jefferson.
The colonists responded by "interpreting" very loosely that this act did not give Britain the power to tax them.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence to assert that the colonists should no longer be ruled by Britain. Adopted on July 4, 1776, this pivotal document outlined the colonies' grievances against King George III and articulated the principles of individual rights and self-governance. It marked the formal assertion of the colonies' independence and their intention to establish a new nation.
