The Declaration of Independence
How does the Declaration of Independence reflect the ideas and philosophies of independence?
There are four major ideas that were reflected in the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson said it best:
The Declaration of Independence also includes a list of grievances, or complaints, against King George III. This was written in order to prove that the rights of the colonists had been violated. Therefore, the people had the right to abolish their old government and form a new one. The Declaration of Independence ends with a formal statement declaring the colonists’ independence from England. Thomas Paine wrote a persuasive pamphlet supporting the colonists’ independence from England called Common Sense to further the cause.
