\hline
Restate the question & Which side has the strongest argument, British or Colonies? \\
\hline
Answer the question & The Colonists had the stronger argument. \\
\hline
Cite textual evidence &
The Colonists argued for independence based on principles of natural rights, arguing that all men are created equal and have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These arguments are evident in documents such as the Declaration of Independence. \\
\hline
Explain the evidence &
The Declaration of Independence outlines the Colonists' grievances against King George III, stating that he had violated their rights by imposing taxes without representation and maintaining a standing army in the colonies during peacetime without their consent. These points resonated strongly with the Colonists and helped to galvanize their support for independence. \\
