They chose that word because it implies that the colonies never actually belonged to the king but rather to the people. The king is a usurper, meaning that his claim over the colonies is without any right. By repeating it often it sort of becomes ingrained in the reader and the reader adopts this when analyzing and talking about the declaration and the war of independence.

In the Declaration of the Independence, the word usurpation is used to imply “the unlawful suppression or denial of citizens' rights.” It might have also been used to imply oppression, exploitation, injustice, confiscation, torment, persecution, coercion, intimidation, etc. The authors of the Declaration chose to repeat the word to emphasize the point that the impositions of the King on the colonists were both abusive and unlawful.

Which nation had the greatest impact on exploration and trade<br> in Asia? Explain.
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Portugal and Spain became the early leaders in the Age of Exploration. Through the Treaty of Tordesillas the two countries agreed to divide up the New World. Spain got most of the Americas while Portugal got Brazil, India, and Asia.

The voyages of explorers had a dramatic impact on European trade. As a result, more goods, raw materials and precious metals entered Europe. New trade centers developed, especially in the Netherlands and England. Exploration and trade led to the growth of capitalism.

In at least 100 words, discuss the explicit and implicit meanings in the above excerpt. Be sure and point out the differences be
Aliun [14]
Explicit: Stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt. the closing words of a text, manuscript, early printed book, or chanted liturgical text. For example: "the speaker's intentions were not made explicit.
Implicit: Implied though not plainly expressed. With no qualification or question; absolute. Not expressed directly in terms of independent variables. These two words have almost opposite meanings but are regularly confused because of their similar sound. Since they do have such different meanings, you want to be sure that you're using the right one. Keep this in mind: Implicit is indirect; and Explicit is direct.  Here is something that might help you to remember the difference in both these words. Remember this and you won't ever fall short when thinking, "Is it Implicit or Explicit?" A good way to keep explicit vs implicit apart is to remember that Iimplicit is an Implied or Indirect statement. Both of these start with the letter "I". Explicit starts with an "E" and is spelled out, so there is no confusion. Implicit and Explicit have near opposite meanings, so it's important to remember their difference. Implicit is indirectly stated or implied. Explicit is directly stated and spelled out. 

I hope this helps and sorry I went over 100 I checked and its 200 words!!!!
