The Declaration of Independence is an astonishing and breathtaking piece of literature that was written by Thomas Jefferson. It is a beautifully written argument stating the eighteen complaints against King George the third. Jefferson's diction and use of vocabulary words creates an astounding effect for the argument. The Declaration of Independence is a type of argument that uses the combining of induction and deduction. This document was written to rebel against King George the third. Thomas Jefferson uses evidence towards the end of his argument (induction) and lists eighteen complaints in the beginning (deduction).
"He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only," Jefferson states in his third argument. This argument accomplishes to declare that King George the third only allowed the English to pass laws. Another argument given was, "He has called together legislative bodies at places, unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance." This was the forth argument expressed by Jefferson, explaining the long and tiring travels people had to take in order to attend the meetings that were held in far away locations.
Today's laws are much more reasonable due to The Declaration of Independence written by Jefferson. The meetings are held in more convenient locations and laws can be passed by the government creating a peaceful society amongst the people.
