Which quotation from the declaration of independence indicates that the founding fathers rejected the idea of having a monarchy in the newly independent colonies? “the history of the present king of great britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations.” “a prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” “[i]t becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another.”

“A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”

This statement argues the people of the colony are free and they should not be ruled by a tyrant. The Founders believed the monarchy produced tyrants and George III was one.

The Founders and Jefferson in particular believed the people of the colonies were free and should be able to manage their own political system. Their fear of a tyrannical government caused them to create a confederacy with sovereign states and little power at a federal level. Even when writing the Constitution there was disagreement about how strong the federal government could be fearing a single power could take complete control over the people.
