Answer:

Yes!

Step-by-step explanation:

Many Americans get confused with both of these very significant doccuments.

The Declaration of Independence was the ground basis from the American colonist to Great Britain that stated we are declaring independence from the British.

The constitution is what this new government would be based upon, the powers of the president, powers of the legislative branch, and the judicial branch basically setting the bricks for what modern American checks and balances, balance of power, etc us based upon.

Many countries today use both of these doccuments to 1. Justify their self-determination, or 2. Base their government around the USA's.
