Independence

Declaration of Independence was to announce the United States of America 's separation from Great Britain. The creation of this document defines the beginning of a new chapter in human history. It briefly explains the unfair laws and taxes that were imposed on the states for a number of years. The king ignored previous letters and warnings sent to him by congress. He also abused his power and quartered troops to prevent protest. In result of the Kings actions our nation chose to declare…

No American document has had a greater global impact than the Declaration of Independence. It has been fundamental to American history longer than any other text because it was the first to use the name “the United States of America”: in this sense, the Declaration was the birth certificate of the American nation. The document contains a list of twenty-seven grievances that state why the United States was choosing to become independent. The King was a Tyrant, who burned the colonist’s towns,…

The Declaration of Independence is one of, if not the most important documents to be created in the entire history of the United States of America as a country. Written as a first draft by Thomas Jefferson (Who prior to writing it was insisted to be created by him from both John Adams and Benjamin Franklin), It served as the first part of creating a new country; consisting of 13 colonies/states (that eventually expand to 50 states to date) that would be governed not by a leader, but by the…

About two hundred and fifty years ago, the American colonist were on the way to becoming its own, in revolutionizing it. Our president Thomas Jefferson, one of our founding fathers, composed a document that made America called The Declaration of Independence. This document came in response to the tyranny of English rule. It declared the goals of equality for all men, end to high taxes on colonists, an end to English rule, and why the American colonist should separate from England. The colonist…

The Unjust Declaring of Independence Throughout the short history of America, Americans have been told the tales of how the weak Americans overthrew their tyrannical oppressors against all odds to free the colonies that make the country that it is today. Millions of Americans celebrate on the fourth of July of the day which the second continental congress signed the declaration of independence which included statements which documented “a history of injuries and usurpations designed to…

The word independence can be defined in so many ways, but I will say independence is a situation or state where you are independent. This will lead me to say therefore that independent can be said to be free of outside influence, outside control, not depending on any authority or guidance from anyone, and also not depending on others for economic survival or livelihood. This document that is so much celebrated today is a legal document that proclaim to the whole world the numerous reasons why…

Many myths are associated with the American War of Independence against Great Britain. Perhaps the greatest of these myths, is the belief that the schism occurred as a result of a simple tax revolt against “big government.” This view of American history contains a flaw; accordingly, the Revolution was not the result of some substantive reason of a greater principle but just a conflict of moneyed personal interests. Between the years of 1763 and 1776, Great Britain and its rebellious colonists…

America could rule itself better than the British could. Hoar evoked the Declaration of Independence as reason why America could not rule another country. The Declaration of Independence states that to secure the natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness governments are created that derive their power from the consent of the governed. By proclaiming this in the Declaration of Independence, America explicitly stated that a government could not rule over a people without their…

How Independent IS Independence? The United States is considered to have one of the best constructed governments on Earth. Unlike many countries, all citizens of the US get their own set of rights along with a sense of protection and tranquility. There is a reason the Star Spangled Banner ends with “O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?” (Key 8) Along with our freedom, we are known worldwide for gaining independence from one of the greatest armies and navies of the time, Great…

Declaration of Independence Report #1 Not only was the document that allowed colonists to be free from British rule, but it symbolizes one of the biggest events in American History. To me, the Declaration is divided into sections. The Preamble, the Declaration of Natural Rights, a List of Grievances, the Resolution of Independence by the United States, and last but not least a bunch of signatures. Four parts mainly-excluding the signatures. The Preamble explains why the Continental…
