Question

Read the excerpt from the Declaration of Independence.

Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

In this excerpt, certain words are capitalized to
emphasize the uniqueness of specific ideas.
highlight the supremacy of certain concepts.
illustrate the author’s writing style.
relate personally to the readers.

Answer 1

emphasize the uniqueness of specific ideas.

The capitalized nouns (Form of Government, Right of the People, Safety and Happiness) mark important abstract concepts and give them special significance in the argument.
