Read this excerpt from the Constitution of the Confederate States. On which event or issue can historians gain insight from this excerpt?

Respuesta :

The excerpt shows that the colonists were tired of being ruled and mistreated by Britain, and that it was time to rebel and become a seperate nation.

As long as they had a really good reason (which they did) they thought that it was right and just that they should be able to split from the British Empire

hope this helps
