The authors of the Declaration of Independence justify breaking away from the British rule by declaring that they want to form a more perfect union and can only do so by gaining their independence. Their justification for this action is written in the Preamble for the Declaration of Independence.
The Declaration of Independence was basically a long letter of the many grievances that the English king had committed against the colonist. Having all those problems listed in a single document was a way for the colonist to show the king why they were so unhappy with the way he was (trying to) ruling the colonist.
The Declaration of Independence completely justified the colonist separation from England, because they were easily able to make a long list of dictator-like behavior that the English king had committed against them. It was a way for the colonist to say "we've dealt with you long enough and we won't put up with it any longer!"
They lived thousands of miles (and many months by boat) away from England, yet the king still tried to rule them as if he was standing in their backyard. They had every right to be free and the Declaration of Independence was the opportunity to put all of their problems in a single place and categorize the weight of each problem.

is it congress...questionmark??
Its all in the Declaration of Independence....The colonists were cranky because King George III was being a crotch, so they spelled it all out in the Declaration of Independence. This document starts with an introducition, then states all the reasons why King George was a jerk, and then ends with a conclusion. Pretty much the basic answer as to why the colonies wanted to break away is that they wanted to be able to govern themselves. They wanted the three branches of government that we have today.
