Answer :

Answer:

A. To dissuade the reader from joining forces with Great Britain to fight against the United States

Explanation:

Contextualization

The Declaration of Independence was a document adopted by the Second Continental Congress to declare the American colonies independence from Britain. Approved in July of 1776, it allowed the 13 colonies to form independent states.

Let's look at the Answers to evaluate if they are true or not:

To dissuade the reader from joining forces with Great Britain to fight against the United States

This is not considered one of the primary purposes of the Declaration of Independence. By the time the Declaration of Independence was adopted, the American Revolution was already in full force and the war had already begun to be fought. Furthermore, the given excerpt has nothing that points to this being true. Therefore, this would be the answer since the question is asking for the one that is not a primary purpose.

To communicate to the colonists that Great Britain has not and will not change their policies

This was one of the purposes of the Declaration of Independence, which listed a long list of grievances done by the Crown. These grievances were meant to show the need for independence. This is implied by the statement: " Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury."

To assure the readers that the United States has attempted to resolve the issues with Great Britain peacefully and diplomatically

This is true. The period before the Declaration of Independence saw the United States attempting to resolve many of the issues. For example, nonviolent approaches such as boycotts, tea parties, and negotiation were used but largely unsuccessful. The Olive Branch Petition was likely one of the best examples of this. This is seen reflected in the excerpt through, "In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms..."

To discourage the reader from viewing the leaders of the United States as tyrannical

This is also another purpose of the Declaration of Independence. The reason for independence was that the colonies viewed the crown as tyrannical. The Declaration aimed to promote the values of democracy. This can be seen reflected in the Declaration through the phrase, ". 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."

Therefore, all of the following statements outline the primary purposes of paragraphs 3 and 4 in the Declaration of independence except statement A.
