in congress, july 4, 1776
he has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
he has kept among us, in times of peace. standing armies without the consent of our legislatures.
he has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.
how does the focus of the declaration excerpt differ from the bill of rights?
the declaration establishes new military regulations.
the declaration condemns forced quartering of troops.
the bill of rights justifies the american revolution.

Explanation:

The Bill of Rights focuses on protecting individual rights (like the right to bear arms and against forced quartering of soldiers). The Declaration excerpt is criticizing the actions of the British (keeping standing armies without consent of legislatures). The first option about the Declaration establishing new military regulations is wrong as it's criticizing, not establishing. The third option is wrong as the Bill of Rights doesn't justify the Revolution - the Declaration does. The second option is correct as the Declaration excerpt (condemning keeping standing armies without consent) is related to the issue of forced - like (since no consent) military - related actions (though not exactly quartering, but in the context of the options, it's the closest as the Bill of Rights has an article about quartering).

Answer:

The Declaration condemns forced quartering of troops.
