The intended effect of the use of enumeration in this passage is to convince the reader of the justness of breaking ties with England. By outlining the rights and powers of independent states, the passage emphasizes the need for the colonies to be free and independent. The enumeration of these powers reinforces the argument that the colonies have legitimate reasons for declaring independence and highlights their entitlement to self-governance.
