I think that way America is holding up the ideals of the Declaration of Independence today can be described as very “meh”. We could be doing a lot worse at protecting the principles of our declaration and the basic rights of people, as seen in other parts of the world, but there is still room for improvement. I think principle 1,2, and 3 of the Declaration of Independence are being treated okay in some ways, but not in others. Regarding principles 3, I think this one is being upheld the best.…

The topic I chose to write about that sparked my interest was the Declaration of Independence. This document or statement is an important piece of american history and is the reason why the United States of America exists. It gave motivation for colonists to stand up for their nation and form an alliance with France to get the French to assist them with the was against Great Britain. In this essay, I will provide the events that lead up to the american colonies uniting to stand up against the…

For example, as recent events in the Congo had shown, some countries had not been completely freed from colonial domination in spite of their nominal independence.

The Declaration of Independence created the articles of the Confederation which in the end, the Constitution replaced. This Declaration stated that the colonies were now independent and free in America, rather than shackled to the British Empire. With the thirteen colonies free from Britain and with the creation of the Articles of Confederation, these colonies became…

I think the government is doing a good job upholding the Principles of the Declaration of Independence because we could be living in Africa where we barely have any freedoms. But we are doing pretty well. We have the freedom of speech, religion and even carer. But… If you are applying for a job people can judge you on your race, religion even looks. Which I think is not right. In the declaration it says "We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal." This is a question…

According to the Declaration of Independence, American citizens are granted four unalienable human rights. They are granted equality, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and a government that will derive its power from their consent.

The United States Declaration was written in 1776, and the French Declaration, which was known the Citizen and the Rights of Men were written in 1789.
