to become free and independent states
The Declaration of Independence is a separate document that announced to England that the colonies didn't want to be ruled by Parliament. It led to the Revolutionary War and when that was over, the Articles of the Confederacy and then the Constitution were written over the next several years. Both, in my opinion, are beautifully written and are very clear in their intent.
Great Britain taxed the colonies but did not allow them to participate in politics.
The Declaration of Independence states the American colonies are an independent country, and should be addressed as an independent country. This lets the king, Parliament, and British subjects know, they are no longer considering themselves as a part of Britain. Also, although it was pretty hypocritical for a country that allowed slavery, the document declares that 'all men are created equal.' This implies the colonies are no longer willing to allow themselves to be ruled over by a king and Parliament they already consider themselves to be equal to.
Federalist such as: Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay were in favor of the Constitution. Anit-federalists such as: Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams wanted a Bill of Rights added on to the Constitution, so a compromise was made and the Bill of Rights was added.
It did not allow African Americans to join.

the people can set up a new government
Government should exist only if the people allow it
As in the quartering of soldiers? Being forced to provide a place for soldiers to stay- we throw you out of your house (or part of it) and allow soldiers to stay there.
One of the complaints of the Declaration of Independence was the fact the Britain did not allow the colonies to establish a Judiciary Branch. Once independence was won, this branch was entered into the Constitution and would become the Supreme Court, which is one of the strongest parts of the governmental branches. The Framers never intended for the Judicial Branch to be the strongest, but rather the weakest.
The three reasons why the American Colonists wanted to be independent, can be found within the Declaration of Independence. The people wanted the right and freedom of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. King George III, and Parliament were not about to allow the colonists to enjoy such wonderful and precious things.
Government should exist with the consent of the people.
The people have the right to over throw the government if it abuses its power. ~ yeah i know the answer (;
Because they wanted the American's to pay off the debt from The French and Indian War, so they "trapped" them.
