The Declaration of Independence asserted the American colonies’ right to break political ties with Britain and to form a government based on individual rights. Evidence for this claim appears plainly in the document itself, adopted on July 4, 1776, when Thomas Jefferson wrote that "all men are created equal" and are endowed with "certain unalienable Rights," among them "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," and proceeded to list the colonies’ grievances against King George III to justify separation. This language and the catalogue of abuses not only provided a moral and legal rationale for revolution—grounding rebellion in Enlightenment principles of natural rights and consent of the governed—but also set a durable foundation for American political identity and inspired later democratic movements worldwide by articulating principles that transcend its historical moment.
