Question

Why is the declaración of independence important for the united states?

Answer 1

It gave Americans freedom from the tyrant ruling of the king from Great Britain

Answer 2

It was a justification of the American Revolution presented to the world; but its unique combination of general principles and an abstract theory of government with a detailed enumeration of specific grievances and injustices has given it enduring power as one of the great political documents of the West. After stating its purpose, the opening paragraphs assert the fundamental American ideal of government, based on the theory of natural rights, which had been held by many Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke, Emerich de Vattel, and Jean Jacques Rousseau.

Answer 3

@Awesome781... It is a document that gave the basis for the freedoms protected in the Bill of Rights. The Declaration did not and was not intended to give freedoms. It argued that those freedoms were already possessed by all people.

Answer 4

Well, the Declaration of Independence was declared after the American Revolution. This document was written by Thomas Jefferson and signed by the sons of liberty. It ensured American Independence from Great Britain, officially.
