they are different because the Declaration of Independence protects people's rights, and The Constitution created ordinances for the U.S.A..~Christina Ralph11 years oldMarch 19,09Bay-BeeThey are different because the decloration of independence was used in a letter to the king of England when us separated from England it said why us wanted to separate and what they planned to have, it is not a living document

The constitution declared how are government is set up and it is attached to the Bill of Rights which has amendments stated what rights people had like freedom of press and who could vote and the right to bear arms and the right to a speedy trial by a jury

The Declaration of Independence was the notice that we were forming a new country and explained why it was necessary to do so. The Constitution defined the "how" and created the basic rules under which we would govern ourselves.
