In document D, they refer to the boston tea party. The boston tea party was a well known, part of america's revolt over britain. King george III, put a tax on tea because he thought they were in debt because of the french and indian war and made it unfair for the fellow colonist. The colonist, or sons of liberty decided to hop on one of the british trading ships, and dump all the tea in the harbor. The whole point in the tea part was that the colonist were revolting from the british government, and wanted to make a change. The british didn't change anything, in fact they made everything worse. This made the colonist go to war with the british and eventually overthrew their government, and formed what now is America. If the declaration of independence did not let the people alter or abolish the government, they would have too much power, and wouldn't be a stable nation. This is very important part of the document, but the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, might just be a little more
