Crown. Independence was not declared for an unbiased purpose, but because of a usurpation England had made to the rights of the people of America. What was this justification and was it sufficient to show that the colonies were reasonable in separating themselves from their “Mother Country”?

Henry VIII’s reign of England has particular elements of Machiavelli’s model in terms of how he maintained and grew his power by expelling the Catholic Church’s influence in England.
