according to British law, at the time, if a document goes ignored its ratified, so the Founding Fathers Sent the Document to King George III and he ignored it, so we recieved our independence later on after war..

The Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, following a process initiated by the Second Continental Congress and driven by calls for independence due to British oppression. Thomas Jefferson was tasked with drafting the document, which outlined the colonies' reasons for seeking independence. The final declaration affirmed ideals of individual rights and justified the colonies' separation from Great Britain.
