How did the Quartering Act affect the colonists?
The British further angered American colonists with the Quartering Act, which required the colonies to provide barracks and supplies to British troops. The Quartering Act was passed in June 2, 1765, against the wishes of the colonist. The Quartering Act was an indirect tax for the colonist. Under the law, the colonist had to give quarters, food, and transportation to the British soldiers. The British forced the colonist to accept it because they were protecting the colonists from the French. The colonists did not consider the French a threat and did not like the idea of paying for the British protection.
How is article 3 of the declaration of the rights of man an attack to the monarchy?
Article 3 maintains that sovereignty lies within the nation, that is, the nation's citizens. A monarchy is a centralized sovereignty, where only one person has authority. Since a monarch can exercise authority independently of a nation's citizens, without regard to their wishes or input, this goes against the general idea of article 3.

Was the vision of the Declaration of Independence fulfilled?
You'll get plenty of opinions for this question. Mine is thus: yes it was, but not absolutely. The premise of seceding from Britain was definitely fulfilled, and through this and other protective measures many abuses of power were evaded and hampered. There were flaws and failures of the document's vision throughout America's history, but the rebellious (terrorist) colonists certainly got their wish when it came to ridding themselves of George III's tyrannical rule. As for stopping tyranny itself, all the signatures of all the colonial bigwigs were nothing but sterile, cosmetic wishes.

What are the main ideas in the decleration of independence?
This document was written by Thomas Jefferson and asserts that man has unalienable rights which government should protect, these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This is a close paraphrase of Locke's principles of life, liberty and pursuit of property. The declaration also states that man has the right to rebel against his government if the government doesn't protect these rights. The declaration also states that man is generally accepting of the abuse of his rights and that a long strain of abuses is necessary to prompt the people to act on there behalf. The document also supports consent based government; that is the government must comply to the wishes of the people whom they rule. The second half of the declaration outlines the abuses the colonists have endured from King George III; these would later assist in the establishment of the bill of rights. The declaration ultimately served to separate the colonies from England and to lay the principles upon which the Constitution would be constructed.
Do you think the british or the colonists were in the right?
Since I am not personally a believer in the supposed divine right of kings, I do not see any basis for King George III to rule the American colonies against the wishes of the colonists. The colonists were basically in the right. Of course, their moral position was somewhat weakened by their continued practice of slavery, which was not to end until almost a century later. The colonists were no saints, either.
