One of America's most important building blocks to becoming a country was the Declaration of independence. This document written by our founding fathers declared our independence from Great Britain. Even though the founding fathers strongly wrote the Declaration, they were being selfish in doing so. They owned slaves and just wanted to rule over the people. These reasons prove how the founding fathers were flawed in writing this document.
To begin with, the founding fathers were biased because they owned slaves. It seems ironic that slave owners wrote, " We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." These words wrote by people who wanted a democracy but still owned slaves. They also battled for a "free county."
