Answer:The Declaration of Independence can be seen as a declaration of war in so many words.

Explanation: The main body of the Declaration consists of a long litany of grievances that the American colonists have against King George III. The colonists have tried on numerous occasions to have those grievances heard and to get a respectful hearing from the British.
