Answer:

The Declaration of Independence was designed for multiple audiences: the King, the colonists, and the world. It was also designed to multitask.

Step-by-step explanation:

Its goals were to rally the troops, win foreign allies, and to announce the creation of a new country. The introductory sentence states the Declaration's main purpose, to explain the colonists' right to revolution.
