The Declaration of Independence didn't say anything about a "ruler". It was a letter to the king listing the reasons why the colonies wanted to be free and then declaring independence.
The Declaration of Independence is very important because it is the document that founded America. It freed the colonies from Britain. The Declaration of Independence was a document that many people worked on to ensure that either the government of England respect their rights, or they overthrow the government.
America's "Declaration of Independence" does not guarantee or even bestow any rights. It explains, after the fact, why the people of the American colonies had broken their ties with England.
The question does not make sense. The colonies had 1.5 to 2 million citizens and only about 6 people participated in writing the Declaration.
The declaration of independence was signed by 56 representatives from the original 13 colonies
The Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 men. This document which was adopted by Congress in 1776 was signed by representatives of all 13 colonies, the first of whom to sign was John Adams.
The reason that people signed the Declaration of Independence is that they agreed with the statement made by that document, and they wished to demonstrate their support, in the hope that the colonies would become independent (which did happen, as you probably know).
That phrase "We the people..." is not in the Declaration of Independence. It is in the US Constitution.
Approximately 2.5 million people lived in the Colonies on July 4, 1776.
To the people of the USA … 1776 it is is remembered as the year of the signing of the Declaration of Independence (of the Colonies from the British Crown.) The document was signed on 4 July 1776. That's why we celebrate The 4th of July.
The Declaration of Independence founded the US government on the principles of human liberty and consent of the governed. The Declaration of Independence announced that the thirteen American colonies would no longer be a part of the British Empire.
