A formal Declaration of Independence is a document that clearly states the intent of a group or individual to separate from an authority or governing body. Drawing inspiration from historical examples like the United States Declaration of Independence, it typically includes several important components:

1. **Preamble**: This section introduces the document and explains the purpose of the declaration. It often outlines the philosophical reasons for independence, including the natural rights of individuals and the role of government in protecting those rights.

2. **Grievances**: In this part, you list specific complaints or injustices faced. These are the reasons for wanting to separate from the governing authority. Each grievance should be clear and specific, detailing how the authority has failed to uphold the rights of the individuals or has acted oppressively.

3. **Formal Declaration**: This is the decisive statement where you declare your intention to be independent. It should include a statement that you no longer recognize the authority of the existing government and assert your right to be self-governing. This part can also express hopes for the future and the principles that will guide your new governance.

When writing your own Declaration of Independence, think about the values and principles that are important to you and any specific grievances you want to address. This document is a way to articulate your desire for freedom and self-governance.
