HEYA!!!!


The 3 sections of the Declaration of Independence are broken down from an introduction —

States simply the self evident truths of how governments should recognize citizens and that governments exist because of the will of the people.

Defines the grievances of the people against Britain, because Britain doesn’t treat people the way Nature and Nature’s God intended them to.

Declares the colonies free from British oppression and rule.

Hope it helps you.

INTENT - 1st part was for why they were really wrting the declaraion in the first place, and the rights for individuals and the government purpose.

LIST OF GRIEVANCES - The unfair things that King George, For example, "taxation without representation". The refusal of good things the citizens did and soldiers could not live in the citizens home without consent.

DECLARATION - this meant that they were going to gain independance from Great Britain.
