Hubris combined with lack of information. A great read on this is Barbara Tuchman's The March of Folly: From Troy to Vietnam (1984). Her description of the British Parliament's debates about the rebels in the colonies is eerily reminiscent of the US debates about Vietnam and Iraq, with similar catastrophic results.

What truths did the delegates to the seneca falls convention believe were self evident?

The "Declaration of Sentiments and Grievances" adopted by the Seneca Falls convention stated: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government, . . ." This paragraph of the Declaration of Sentiments and Grievances was based closely on the American colonies' Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, except that it stated these truths were self-evident with respect to both men and women, while the Declaration of Independence referred only to men. The Seneca Falls convention was the first women's rights convention ever held in the United States. The Declaration of Sentiments and Grievances was drafted by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one of the organizers of the convention and one of the first and most important advocates of women's rights in the United States.

Why did king George lll refuse to consider the colonists declaration?

King George III refused to consider the colonists' Declaration of Independence primarily because he viewed it as an act of rebellion against British authority. He believed the colonies were still subject to British rule and that their grievances were exaggerated. Additionally, he was influenced by the desire to maintain the integrity of the British Empire and saw the colonies' defiance as a threat to his reign and the stability of the empire. Ultimately, his refusal stemmed from a combination of political, strategic, and personal motivations.
