Answer:
The best answer to the question: Which newspaper headline reports a British action that angered colonists and led to the writing of the Declaration of Independence, would be: "British Taxes: Unfair!".
Explanation:
It first must be remembered that the Declaration of Independence came after the initiation of the Revolution, on July 4th, 1776. In between the initiation of the actual fight for the American independence in the Revolution, and the acceptance of total break-up with Britain, time passed in which both the American colonies, and the British, reacted in diverse ways to the conflict that was arising. However, if there is one issue that inflamed Americans against Britain and finally convinced them that it was time to break the union, was the imposition of unfair taxes on the part of the British Crown, which were seen not as a fair measure, but rather a punishment by Parliament and the King. And also the fact that these taxes came without Americans having proper representation in the British government, and that the King had refused to answer any of the petitions that the colonies had sent him petitioning for his intervention. It was these reasons that finally fed the American Founding Fathers and led Jefferson to put all these grievances on what is today known as the Declaration of Independence; the American colonies final decision on breaking up with Britain.
