Answer 4

what are the 4 sections of the declaration of independence?

Answer 5

it doesn't say anything about the four sections

Answer 6

I'm not sure which sections your teacher wants. I see the Declaration broken into these parts:

Introduction
We hold these truths self-evident . . .
Grievances against the king
Conclusion

Answer 7

my u.s history book says that in this order:

1) Preamble
2) Declaration of Natural Rights
3) List of Grievances
4) Resolution of Independence by the United States

but i kept on searching it on other websites and the websites kept on telling me different things, so i tried Jiskha and you also gave me a different answer, so i am confused???

Answer 8

Yes. I just found this site delineating the four sections.
