Declaration of Independence is a list of grievances against the British Crown, seeking the sympathy of the international community for the cause of the colonies in revolting against their mother country. The idea that all men are created equal, and that government is based on the consent of the governed, became the foundation for the US political ideal of popular sovereignty meaning that the government exists to serve the people, who elect representatives to express their will.
