Sentences of The Declaration of Independence

Simple:  He has refused his Assent to Laws, The most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
Compound:  He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with many firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
Complex:  He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend them.
Compound/Complex:  When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
