Which of the following is true about the Declaration of Independence?

Question

It used natural rights as its main line of argument.

It did not directly call for separation from Great Britain in its conclusion.

It was not a formal statement of independence, but rather a suggestion to King George that things improve immediately.

Answer 1

The statement that is true about the Declaration of Independence is:

It used natural rights as its main line of argument.

The Declaration is well-known for its assertion of natural rights, particularly the rights to "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness," and argues that governments are instituted to secure these rights. The other statements do not accurately represent the content or intention of the Declaration.
