The+Declaration+Of+Independence

By:Braden The Declaration of Independence

The Declaration of Independence is the document that made our country independent. It comes in five sections. 1. The first section says when a nation becomes independent, they should say why. 2.The second section (The Preamble) says people have rights. Those rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When the government doesn't let us (us meaning colonists) have these rights, we can declare independence. 3.The third section is a very very long list of rules the king has violated, like, letting Lord Dunmore storm into civilians' houses and kill them. 4.The fourth section is saying we are disappointed that we have failed in trying to stop the king from violating the rules as said in the third section. 5.The fifth section officially declares independence.
