Question

What was the declaration of independence

Answer 1

The Declaration of Independence, to put it simply, was the 13 first colonies of America declaring their independence from England. It differs from the constitution (which is more like a set of laws) so don’t confuse the two!! :)

Answer 2

The Declaration of Independence is one of the most important documents in the history of the United States. It was an official act taken by all 13 American colonies in declaring independence from British rule. ... The war between the colonies and Great Britain was called the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783).
