Question

From the Declaration of Independence (1776)

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume
among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of
Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the
separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are
endowed [provided] by their Creator with certain unalienable [unable to take away]
rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-That to
secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed, -That whenever any Form of Government
becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish
it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and
organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their
Safety and Happiness.

Answer 1

Answer: written by Thomas Jefferson in The Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. It was engrossed on parchment and on August 2, 1776, delegates began signing it. 1st main idea The introductory sentence states the Declaration's main purpose, to explain the colonists' right to revolution. In other words, “to declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” Congress had to prove the legitimacy of its cause. It had just defied the most powerful nation on Earth. 2nd main idea The second portion of the document describes how King George III disregarded those natural rights to establish a tyranny over the colonies and sets up a justification for American independence. Its goals were to rally the troops, win foreign allies, and announce the creation of a new country. The introductory sentence states the Declaration's main purpose, to explain the colonists' right to revolution. In other words, “to declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” The Declaration of Independence was written to explain why the colonists were declaring independence from Great Britain and why the colonists had a right to do so.
