 | | First, "re-establishment" implies that the "normal" situation in Lagash had historically been one of personal and economic freedom – and that the overthrown rulers had trampled on these rights in a manner that was alien to the citizens of Lagash. | | | This list of grievances is actually very similar to the list of grievances against King George III which is contained in the American Declaration of Independence. | | | This sentiment is also directly contained in the American Declaration of Independence, in the famous passage that all men are "endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights." |
