Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following documents provided a rationale for the Declaration of Independence?

US Constitution

The incorrect options are B, C, and D. Although Common Sense by Thomas Paine was influential in encouraging colonists to declare independence from Britain, it did not provide a specific rationale for the Declaration of Independence. The Magna Carta was a medieval document stating the rights and privileges of British nobles, which did not directly contribute to the Declaration of Independence. The Federalist Papers were a series of essays written in support of the US Constitution, which was created after the Declaration of Independence and thus could not have provided a rationale for it. Therefore, the only option that accurately provided a rationale for the Declaration of Independence is the US Constitution.
