To prove the importance of freedom and true rights for the new Americans, Thomas Jefferson composed the Declaration of Independence strategically to get the point across. Excluding the introduction, the Declaration has three important assets. First we the actual declaration or list of the natural rights they had as humans. They were rights that could not be taken away from them including “ Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” inspired by John Lockes theory in the Enlightenment. A list of complaints against the king followed up. The British King lived up to the title of an absolute Tyranny to the Americans eye who continues to neglect the people’s basic rights. Finally, the Declaration had a resolution of independence to end it. Jefferson wrote that the “United Colonies are... and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States”. On July 4th this Declaration was approved which changed the American government completely.
