Why was Declaration of Independence created?

It happened because they signed a treaty for the American colonists to have freedom.It all started when the king of England raised taxes for tea. Americans started protesting and got split into two groups: Loyalists, who still wanted the King of England as ruler over America , and Patriots, who wanted independence. Later the Patriots raded a ship that was carrying tea from England to America and threw the tea over board. This all leaded to a big war, with the patriots getting their independence

Result of the intolerable act?

The Intolerable Acts were a series of 5 Acts:The Boston Port Act: The first of these closed the port of Boston until the East India Company was paid for the lost tea. This created a great hardship for the people of Boston whose livelihood depended on trade.Massachusetts Government Act: The second modified the Massachusetts Charter of 1691, taking away many of its rights of self-government. It was aimed at punishing Boston and forcing it out of resistance. Almost all positions in the colonial government were to be appointment by the governor or directly by the King. Activities of town meetings were limited. Massachusetts was very proud of its independence and was angry at this infringement on its rights.Administration of Justice Act: The third measure provided that British officials accused of committing crimes in a colony might be taken to England for trial. Because it would mean witnesses would be forced to travel, the practical effect was thought to be that the British officials would escape justice.The Quartering Act: The fourth measure allowed the British to quarter British soldiers in colonial buildings at the expense of the colonists, including colonists' homes, if there were insufficient space in other buildings.The Quebec Act: The fifth act extended the boundaries of the province of Quebec. Because Quebec did not have representative assemblies, many colonists thought this transfer of land from the colonies to unrepresented Quebec was another attempt to punish the colonies and solidify British control.Few major results (not in the right order just writing them down)--> the Revolution, First Continental Congress meeting, Declaration of Independence
