      Because "alot [sic] of Americans" are IGNORANT of its FULL content and context. See the film "1776" about the making of the "Declaration of Independence," in which you'll find that the "Conservatives" were OPPOSED to independence -- until they managed to get independence WITH SLAVERY.

      Hogwash. Have you actually READ the ENTIRE document?
      First of all, it has never been LAW. Second, it applied EXCLUSIVELY to ENGLAND. Third, after its immediate purpose the Founders themselves dropped it and moved on.
      READ it: it DOES NOT include the word "revolution". And it DOES include GRIEVANCES against ENGLAND that are OPPOSITE the false ASSUMPTIONS about the document made by those who HAVE NOT READ IT, these two being directly on point:
      "He [King George III] has kept among us, in Times of Peace, Standing Armies, without the consent of our Legislatures."
      "Legislatures" MAKE LAWS; LAWS REGULATE. The military -- which consisted ONLY of the WELL-REGULATED Militia until the forming of the Continental Army by the legislature known as CONGRESS -- is REGULATED AND CONTROLLED UNDER the rule of law.
      "He [King George III] has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power."
      The "Civil Power" is the CIVILIAN GOV'T -- as in, CIVILIAN rule of the military. There is NO LEGITIMATE military force OUTSIDE the rule of law.
      The Founders "attacked" and "overthrew" exactly this many gov'ts:
      ZERO.

      Liberty existed well before America, around the world. America did not come up with anything new, in fact the forefathers drew heavily from the Magna Carta (1215 a.d.), the English Bill of Rights (1689 a.d.), as well as adopting French ideas that were coming to the forefront in the 1760/70's.

      It is nothing of the kind. It applied exclusively to ENGLAND, and after its immediate usefulness the Founders dropped it an moved on.
      Exactly as they did with Tom Paine: he was a useful PROPAGANDIST; but after he had stirred up the rabble, and they were used at that phase of the so-called "revolution," and it was time to reestablish stability, he was DISCARDED.

      Of course liberty existed before this document. Duh.
      This document moved the cause of freedom forwards into something that had not been attempted in such a way. There have been numerous ideas of liberty throughout history, some similar to ours and others foreign. Hence why he said as we know it.
      There is nothing wrong with drawing from different sources to develop a system. It should be expected.

    Thank you for honoring our country by closely listening and commenting on the Declaration of Independence. Some of our most famous founding citizens wrote and edited this document, and even we Americans don't read it or hear it in full very often. I also think it's instructive for Americans to hear about the other colonies' struggles for independence -- not only India but Ireland, Kenya and others, as well. We sometimes think we were the only country that broke completely from Britain or who had to fight for our independence. So we can recognize each other's battles and sacrifices for independence and self-determination. India is our great-grandfather in culture and history, and our little brother in democracy.

    Small point: the amendments are amendments to the Constitution which is a different document concerning how the government will be created and run. The Declaration of Independence as the statement of why America was breaking ties with England as a colony and becoming its own country.

    Just seeing this and I think it’s a great idea. This document is historical in that it’s the truth. The colonies let England and the world know. of why they wanted independence. Jefferson wanted to put a condemnation of slavery in it, but it was left out because it was afraid it would upset the southern states. Even at this time there was conflict over slavery. The reason slavery was allowed was because the southern states would never of joined the Revolt without it. Which means it would’ve failed. America was basically blackmailed by the southern states on that. It stayed a problem that was kicked down the road until 1860.

    I know I am late, but another document that the Founding Fathers wrote that should be looked over is the "Articles of Confederation". It is considered to be the first Constitution so it is what they went by during the Revolutionary War even though it was agreed to by Congress on the 15th of Nov 1777 and was not in force until Maryland ratified it on the 1st of March 1781. You can also find areas of both the Constitution and some Amendments that we now go by written in there. It should also be taught in school to show the difference of how our Government was first done and how it is now.

    The United States has long benefited from its position between two vast oceans. A huge land, rich in natural resources, in a place which was logistically challenging for the British. There are many many reasons why the U.S. became a global super-power. Two of the most significant were, not being bombed to pieces during WWII, and liberating itself from colonization.

    The United States Decleration of Independence marks a pivot point in world history. With this declaration people around the world would begin to question the legitimacy of absolute monarchy. Did the king of France have any idea that supporting the American revolution the way he did would lead to his own demise. And the American idea of nationalism would cause the people of German speaking states to unite under eventually a representative style government. It still took decades for Germany to be established but the U.S. constitution demonstrated to the people of Europe how backwards their governments were.

If it wasn’t for the French, and our allied ship from WW2, we would t have gone to war in Vietnam. We technically lost, but really grew tired. We lost 50,000 men and Vietnam 600,000. So who really lost. Both.

    Once this document was voted on and passed unanimously (and they knew it HAD to be unanimous) Franklin said the famous words - "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." They knew what they did was extremely dangerous. But it had to be written down in a document. The argument was that the Colonies were deprived of the rights of English Common Law - and the problem is Britain has no written Constitution (to this day), so the government can take away people's rights. The purpose of the Founding Fathers was not just an independent nation, but one with written, public specifically delineated rights of the people that the government could not take away - as the declaration was made for all succeeding generations that everyone was born with a right to them.

    FYI the United States is not a democracy it is a republic. If you read the federalist and anti federalist papers which is basically the debate over the constitution and the form of government for the new United States you will immediately see the two camps of argument. One for a powerful central government and one for state rights or individual rights. The people feared a powerful central government becasue through history we see these institutions inevitably become corrupt and tyrannical. However they knew that the current system under the Articles of Confederation were to weak and incomplete and had a host of problems ie fee faith and credit and 13 different forms of money to name a few. So in the end the constitution was ratified in return for the inclusion of separation of powers & the bill of rights to protect the individual citizen. Our founders spoke often on all these issues including how they felt in regards to pure democracies which they thought IMHO wisely would devolve into a mob rule of the majority rule just suppressing the minority. You see in pure democracies it is always geared to protecting the society or the group as a whole instead of the individual or whats better for everyone. And who decides whats best for the entire group? Well its the majority you see. So you can often have pure democracies devolve into tyrannies where the majority rules and suppresses the minority who are simply powerless to protect themselves from the majority rule. This is why our founders have such things as the bill of rights, separation of powers, states rights and so forth. You see our constitution is purposely written granting authority and power to the federal government by defining these powers specifically. The constitution is not ambiguous for a very important reason . If it is not SPECIFICALLY defined and granted authority the rest (not listed, unknown, or undefined) is granted to the states and to the people. This is why the United States is a republic not a democracy. This is why our government is based on the individuals liberty and not a group. And this is why we have such things as the electoral college which purpose is providing protection and equality of the smaller states from the oppression and domination of the larger states. If our President was selected by popular vote the people in say North Dakota would not matter since the population centers would hold all the power and the rural areas ignored and neglected. However sadly these firewalls are under attack and the separation of powers are failing and our government is becoming more centralized and powerful. These check and balances are beginning to break down becasue our institutions have become co opted and are beginning to become self aware and work against the people. They have corrupted their purpose and the states have become weaker as a result so has the individual. This is why we have such things as the 2nd amendment since the government should be afraid of the people instead of the situation today where the people are afraid of a government that is increasingly tyrannical.

      The Constitution is dry because it’s the details that create the government. It is not a philosophical work. It is not poetry. What it is is incredibly well thought out and cleverly balanced. It is wise but flexible and adaptable. It’s exactly what you want as the basis of a democratic republic. And today we have thrown most of it out. The federal government violates the Constitution every second of every day. So perhaps we have to return to the furry rhetoric of the Declaration of Independence and take the right of revolution again.

We have made war, when we should have made peace and some say force is our only strength. I say that for the first time in history, All Men and Women were considered equal. Men, for the first time in history, were given the freedom all men throughout history could only dreamed. This document was considered radical and outrageous. Because it pronounced freedom for all, and all equal. All barriers crashed down to hell with this document. Why is america rich, freedom, why are we powerful - love for freedom for all and a proud culture of sacrifice to made this dream a reality this document is a declaration of man's right and duty to fight for freedom for all.
