Explanation:

The excerpt from the Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms in 1775 expresses the colonists' reasons for taking up arms against British tyranny. The publication of Common Sense in 1776, which argued for American independence from Britain, built directly on these ideas of resistance to British rule. The other options (drafting of the US Constitution in 1787, George Washington's Farewell Address in 1796, and The Federalist papers in 1787 - 1788) occurred later and were focused on different aspects of nation - building and governance rather than the initial push for independence.

Answer:

A. The publication of the pamphlet Common Sense
