• the declaration of independence

usurpations means \acts of taking something illegally.\
absolute tyranny means \abusive government.\

Explanation:

1. For "The Americans want a new government."

The Declaration of Independence was written to declare separation from British rule, showing Americans sought a new government (free from British tyranny). So this statement is true.

The excerpt from the Declaration of Independence accuses the British king of repeated injuries and usurpations, aiming to establish tyranny. Americans wanted independence, not to support the king. So this statement is false.

The text says "To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world", meaning Americans planned to use facts (evidence) to support their complaints. So the statement is false.

Answer:

True

2. For "The Americans want to confirm their support of the British king."
