Detailed explanation-1: -Britain took the colonies under their control, rather than just providing them with security. Since Great Britain had, once again, transgressed their control of the colonies, the Americans had every right to revolt.

Detailed explanation-2: -The National Assembly in France even used the American Declaration of Independence as a model when drafting the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen in 1789.
