The Declaration of Independence did not directly reference the British Parliament because the American colonists saw it as a symbol of oppression, representing a government that imposed taxes and laws without their consent. Instead, the focus was on King George III, whom they viewed as the primary source of their grievances. By emphasizing the monarchy, the Declaration aimed to highlight the colonists' struggle for self-governance and to rally support against what they perceived as tyranny. This choice also underscored their desire to break away from the British political system as a whole.

Is Declaration of Independence a noun?

Yes, the words declaration of independence alone are a noun, I believe. However, if one were to say "The United States Declaration of Independence," it would become a proper noun and therefore capitalized. I realize that to America, our Declaration of Independence is the only document of its kind and therefore is considered only a proper noun, but to other countries, it is not the same. It is a regular noun. When speaking of our document, they refer to it as the American Declaration of Independence.

Yes. Living In Britain makes a person British, they are also able to refer to themselves as being scottish.

The tyrannical acts of the British king typically refer to King George III, who reigned from 1760 to 1820. Colonists in America viewed his policies, such as taxation without representation and the enforcement of oppressive laws, as oppressive and unjust. These perceived abuses of power contributed to rising tensions that ultimately led to the American Revolution. The Declaration of Independence specifically lists grievances against him, portraying him as a tyrant.

What does English Legislature mean?

It actually is devoid of meaning because since the British Act of Union in 1707, there has not been an English Legislature. Most people use the slang term "English Legislature" to refer to the British Parliament which was adapted from the earlier English Parliament or English Legislative branch. The British Parliament is divided in two houses, an upper, appointed house called the House of Lords in which members of the British Aristocracy have membership and a lower, elected house called the House of Commons where each member belongs to a political party elected by all voting adults above the age of 18. In actuality, the House of Commons more or less functions as a unicameral legislature, with the House of Lords having little to do with the legal process. The objective of the British Parliament is to create and pass laws for the benefit of the British People.
