No. The usual thinking is that about one-third of the colonists supported independence, about one-third opposed it, and the other third had no strong opinion on the matter.
The Declaration of Independence lays out the charges the colonists are making against England. It goes on to state what the colonists, via the Founders, believed to be our most important natural rights.
All original colonies and states existing at that time signed the Declaration
yes, new york did sign the declaration but they waited for a long time to.
On July 8, 1776 in Philadelphia the bells of the state House were rung and read the Declaration for the first time. This was read to inform people of the Declaration. Today Federal rangers still read it at the same place and time in costume.
Depends on which part your talking about. You're probably looking at the "List of Grievences" section. It states all the complaints that the colonists had about the king of Britain at the time. I don't know the name of the king, but that's who "he" is. King George III of the United Kingdom, sovereign of Great Britain at the time US independence was declared. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_iii
The Declaration of Independence says Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; they have a right to throw gov't. - See more at: http://www.chacha.com/question/what-does-jefferson-claim-the-colonists-have-done-every-time-their-rights-have-been-repressed-or-taken-away,-in-the-declaration-of-independence#sthash.AOFVxKQA.dpuf
At this time, there were many examples of the British being unfair to the colonists.

I need time to reflect. The stones around the campfire will reflect the heat. A mirror will reflect your image.
you get the declaration from a man in a hotel
The main idea of the declaration of independence was the sovereignty of the colonies from the rule of great brittain. The colonists were mainly upset about their lack of representation in Parliamentary matters. Given that they still had to pay taxes to the Brittish empire, there was a prominent saying of the time that was sparked from this contempt: "No taxation without representation."
During the mid to late 1700s, the British Parliament passed a number of laws that severely limited the freedoms of English colonists in America. As a result, in 1774, delegates from the colonies formed the First Continental Congress to send a list of complaints to King George III. The King ignored the colonists. In June 1776, the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia and decided it was time to create a document that declared America's independence from Great Britain. Because the King kept ignoring the colonists' complaints, the only choice left was to rebel.
He did not think it was an apprpriate time to pass that declaration
It was the first time Parliament had tried to tax colonists directly.
It took some time for relations to get that bad, but the natives only attacked colonists after colonists attacked them.
They reflect the importance of religion and humans
You must go to the documentary guy, solve a puzzle, and your reward will be the declaration
