The Declaration of Independence is the document that declared our freedom from the crown, and stated the we were separating from Great Britain and creating our own country. This created a need for a document to guide this new country. The Articles of Confederation preceded The Constitution, but gave so much power to the individual states that it became as if we were actually 13 separate countries, each colony having their own currency, laws, taxes, etc. This created the need for a more centralized federal government and from this need our Constitution was born and adopted on September 17, 1787. At 225 years old it is the oldest document that governs a nation to this day.
In 1877 the Declaration of Independence had a major effect on the U.S because it declared the United States free from britain rule and it united the North and the South at the time America was divided in North and South and both sides were at war(American Civil War).
The Founding Fathers were inspired by and admired the Enlightenment philosophers. They embraced the concept of natural rights, and incorporated much of john Locke's arguments in support of limited sovereignty, and Montesquieu's separation of powers, and system of checks and balances, into the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. .
The Constitution of the United States of America is the Supreme Law of the Land. All governmental procedure and all laws created must conform to the Constitution. In the words of Patrick Henry. The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.
The US Constitution established that powers of government would not be invested in a single entity or body, that the people would have the right to petition for redress, and that a system of checks and balances would prevent the abuse of power by a single branch.
it stated that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
i think it was the philosophers of the Enlightenment who influenced both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution.
The Declaration of Independence influenced the founding fathers. The Declaration outlined the rights colonists felt were most important to them.
The Constitution influenced the Revolutionary War because after we got our freedom from England the Constitution told us how we should govern ourselves.
(I'm assuming that you are referring to the American Declaration of Independence) The Declaration of Independence dissolved all legal ties between the colonies and England. It currently has no affect on any facet of American laws. It was fully signed and ratified on August 2, 1776. Most people believe that it was fully signed on July 4, 1776, but only John Hancock signed it that day, which explains the size of his signature. The only event in American history on July 4 before 1776 was George Washington's defeat at Fort Necessity.-Akilae
The War For Independence led to the Declaration of Independence which omitted Jefferson's condemnation of slavery.

They were proud and felt like a part of a larger group.
Greek history was the foundation for democracy in American History.... :-)
John Locke wrote that, according to social contract, every person is entitled to the natural rights of life, liberty, and estate. How does this differ from the text of the Declaration of Independence?
The Declaration of Independence came about because of the War for Independence. This affected slavery and changed America forever.
During the revolution, the Declaration of Independence served solely as a motivational document for the revolutionaries. King George III dismissed it, and it carried no political clout. The signitaries did risk their lives by signing it, and therefore the Declaration lifted moral, or at least the incentive to overthrow British rule. It was a line drawn in the sand.
the Magna Carta impacts the United States because it helped to lead to the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and The Declaration of Independence. all three of those documents are very important to U.S. history
It gained independence from Spain.
