In 1765, the Stamp Act Congress issued the Declaration of Rights and Grievances. This document was a response to the Stamp Act imposed by Britain, asserting that colonists could not be taxed without their consent, as they were not represented in Parliament. The Congress, consisting of representatives from various American colonies, sought to articulate the rights of the colonists and protest against British taxation policies.

made the Declaration of Rights and grievance
The colonies had expressed their grievances through various petitions and resolutions, such as the Olive Branch Petition of 1775, which sought reconciliation and addressed their concerns over taxation without representation. Additionally, documents like the Declaration of Rights and Grievances in 1765 outlined specific issues and were sent to the British Parliament, highlighting colonial discontent. These efforts were largely ignored or dismissed by the crown, indicating that the colonies had attempted to voice their concerns before resorting to revolution.
The Treaty of Paris was the treaty whereby Great Britain recognized the American colonies as an independent nation. This was well after the 1776 publication of the Declaration of Independence.
The American colonists claimed that their constitutional rights were being violated.

The Stamp Act (1765)
The First Continental Congress drew up a statement known as the Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress, also known as the Declaration of Colonial Rights, or the Declaration of Rights in 1774. It was similar to the Declaration of Rights and Grievances, but that document was drafted by a different group earlier, in 1765.
The original Declaration of Rights and Grievances was written by the Stamp Act Congress in 1765. It raised fourteen objections to British policies and called upon King George and Parliament to address the complaints of the colonists.Another document called the "Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress" was written by the First Continental Congress 9 years later in 1774, and is also referred to as the Declaration of Rights and Grievances. This document was written in response to the Intolerable Acts (Coercive Acts) and more closely resembled the grievances of the Declaration of Independence (1776).
