The Declaration of Independence was a document that stated that the colonies were free from the rule of the British. Some parts of the Declaration of Independence were directed toward Great Britain while other were parts of the Declaration of Independence were directed at other countries that might be considering becoming independent.
The main point of the Declaration of Independence was to let Great Britain know that we were declaring our freedom from them, and why we were doing this. The section where we listed all of our complaints against Great Britain was clearly meant to inform the British what the reasons were for why we were declaring our independence. Also, the statement that we were now free was directed toward Great Britain so they would be aware of what we were doing.
There are several parts of the Declaration of Independence that were directed to other countries in general terms. In the section about natural rights, we were telling people throughout the world that government must protect the rights of the people. We explained that these natural rights are called the inalienable rights and include the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and that all people have these rights. We told people that when government fails to protect these rights, people must replace that government with a government that will protect their rights. This was a message to people throughout the world about what to do if their government wasn’t doing what it was supposed to be doing.
The first part of the Declaration of Independence, called the Preamble, was a message to people in countries that were considering becoming independent about what they should do. The Declaration of Independence stated that if the people were going to declare independence, they must tell everybody why they were doing this. It wasn’t enough to just state that they were independent. The people must explain what the old government had done that led the people to declare independence.
The Declaration of Independence was directed mainly at Great Britain. However, it also served as a guide to what a country should do and how that country should do it if they were thinking about becoming independent.
