This phrase from The Declaration of Independence and its primary author Thomas Jefferson can be used to justify which statement?

Respuesta :

I assume you are referring to the phrase below:

"The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world."

- from The Declaration of Independence

The answer is 
Jefferson knew that the colonists' actions would have an international impact.

The phrase shows that Jefferson knew that the colonists' actions would have an international impact. Remember that the Declaration of Independence was not just a "break up letter" with Great Britain: it was a statement to the entire world of the colonists' intent. He could not have imagined, however, that the document would influence people desiring independence from 1776 to the present day.
