Why do you think the drafters of the declaration of independence would be attentive to "the opinions of mankind."



Answer :

The Declaration of Independence was a letter to the king of England, demanding that he let the colonies be independent. They were tired of having a strict ruler that imposed unfair taxes upon them. The drafters would want to be attentive to "the opinions of mankind," because they wanted to include all colonists' opinions in it. They wanted to know what the colonists believed was unjust, so they could put it in the letter. The Declaration was supposed to include everyone's opinions on what they wanted changed.
