The Declaration of Independence On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was written stating how colonists wanted their Independence. It was also adopted by the Continental Congress. The Declaration of Independence states the motivations for fighting for their Independence. The Declaration of Independence also is the founding document of American history that has been around among one of the most important documents ever to be written in the history of the United States of America. We refer to it today as we the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. In the Declaration of Independence, it states a lot of things such as the type of rights we have as humans, the complaints the colonists had against the British government,

I think that the colonist could have done more to take the King out of his chair rather than waiting for a good amount of time. Jefferson claims that the colonists have been suffering the protection towards the colonists and that it is now time to expose the injustice to the people in the Declaration of Independence. Instead of giving protection of life and also liberty, the government destroyed the life of the people, it prevented the people to feel happy about themselves. Now as for the 13 colonies declaring their Independence from the British; Thomas Jefferson stated in the Declaration of Independence new United States of America from Great Britain and the King. In response to Britain, they continued the opposition to improve the Continental Congress to pass measures abolishing British authority in the colonies. As a result, thirteen American states or colonies declared independence in 1776 and one after another all the American states got their independence. Also, as a result, the colonial government got abolished so that the colonies would turn into
