what did the declaration of independence list as a reason the colonies sought independence from great britian

Taxation without represntation

Explanation:

The people in the colonies were being taxed like crazy but they had not say in the government in Great Britain(parlament) This was one of the many reasons the colonials wanted freedom.

i confess that there are several parts of this constitution which i do not at present approve, but i am not sure i shall never approve them: for having lived long, i have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which i once thought right, but found to be otherwise. it is therefore that the older i grow, the more apt i am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.
