Answer

  1. Order of Sections:

    1. A list of specific wrongs, each one beginning 'He has' - 3
    2. A closing statement dissolving all political connection with Britain - 4
    3. An opening explaining why any people would need to explain themselves at all - 1

    The placement I will defend, and why: The opening should explain why the declaration is necessary, followed by the principles, then the grievances, and finally the resolution.

  2. Map the Structure:

    1. Preamble: Introduces the necessity of the declaration. Evidence: "When in the Course of human events..."
    2. Statement of Natural Rights: Outlines the philosophical foundation. Evidence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident..."
    3. List of Grievances: Details the specific complaints against the British Crown. Evidence: "He has refused his Assent to Laws..."
    4. Resolution of Independence: Declares the colonies' independence. Evidence: "That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States..."
