Question

The Declaration of Independence was written by the Founding Fathers to announce independence from Great Britain. This document contained three main goals. First and foremost, it shared the formal claim of independence. It also listed specific complaints against King George III of England and discussed the rights of citizens while explaining the legitimacy of the Revolution. Unlike the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence in no way established or discussed the system of government to be used by an independent America. Instead, it was important that this document informed the rest of the world of the American colonists' independence and shared the ideas of the rights of man. This way, support from inside the colonies would be encouraged as well as support from other European countries, France in particular.
