the purpose of the Declaration of Independence was a letter to King George of England, listing all their grievances against him and the reasons they felt they had to declare the colonies "free and independent states." They were justifying their actions.
Then maybe their argument could be over the issue of whether they should include in their list of grievences that Prince Charles is a jerk and they don't want to swear allegence to him.
(Hey, trust me. As a Canadian, I've often wondered if I would have taken an oath of loyalty to the monarchy - which was required on my being called to the bar - if Charles had been king
)
