When we won the Revolutionary War, England declared us independant, so Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence

They were committing an act of treason in fact. They certainly were not elected by popular vote, nor did King George III give permission for the Signers to meet and discuss separation from their parent country.

they didn't need any any authority. after the king of england sent down the intolerable acts,the colonists decided that england no longer had their best interests at hand and decided to become their own nation. there was an inital attack in boston by the british where Crispus Attucks was killed, starting the revolutionary war.

They were representatives that their people chose them. We won the revolutionary war against britain, and that is how our country declared its independence. They were also very prominent figures of their time.

no one. they declared independence because of what they considered to be the injustices being inflicted on them (as citizens of the british empire) by the brithish ruling elite.
