PARRAINGO

The Enlightenment principle addressed by these grievances to the King was self-governance.

What did self-governance call for?

  • To allow Americans to pass their own laws which would be for their benefit.
  • To eliminate a situation where a foreign government ( Britain) can hold Americans hostage by not signing laws.

The Founding Fathers were therefore calling for the right to govern their own affairs such that they could sign their own laws that would benefit them when the need arose.
