The Declaration of Independence is organized into several sections, each serving a different purpose. There are generally considered to be five parts of the Declaration of Independence, according to the National Archives' description on its website. But many persons have critiqued the document and some feel that there are any number of different parts. In view of the discrepancy on what, in one sense, is just a matter of opinion depending on the person giving it, I will go with the National Archives' opinion and leave it to readers to form their own opinions. The parts are: 1. The Introduction. This is the opening paragraph; a single sentence beginning with "We the People..." It is sometime erroneously referred to as the Preamble, probably because the opening paragraph of the US Constitution is referred to as the Preamble to the Constitution. 2. The Preamble. The second paragraph, which begins with "We hold theses truths to be self-evident. The Preamble sets the logic al argument that people have rights, that people form governments to secure those rights and when a government becomes destructive of those rights, the people have a right and a duty to throw off that government. 3. The Indictment of King George III. The list of wrongs the King has done to show the ways in which the King has abused the rights of the colonists. 4. The Denunciation of the British people. A statement announcing not only the separation of colonial government from British government, but colonial people from British people. 5. Conclusion. The Declaration of Independence from the King and his British peoples is the only logical conclusion to be taken from the above. What could lead to the different opinions on the number of parts. For one, the "Introduction" is mistakenly called the Preamble, the way the first paragraph of the Constitution is called. Admittedly, calling the second paragraph the "Preamble" seems wrong, but that is what the National Archives says. Some split the last two paragraphs into "Conclusion" and "Declaration" instead of calling both just the "Conclusion". Some combine the indictment of the king and the denunciation of the British peoples as one section.
Part 1: Ask King George III to change his actions
Part 2: a list of complaints (in reverse order)

He claimed to have suggested the phrase, "self evident" in place of Jefferson's original, "sacred and undeniable." Michael Montagne
Jefferson was one of five men designated to drafting the declaration... John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Henry Livingston were the other four. They all fought over who would write it and they agreed Jefferson would be best. He was from Virginia, meaning he was a leading member of the Congress, and he was known for his beautiful writing. Adams was too hated by the rest of the Continental Congress to write it.
The Declaration of Independence was a letter to the king laying out the reasons for independence. It was written by Thomas Jefferson who was known for his ability to write. He had read the enlightenment thinkers and this showed in the document. There was no “new nation” in 1776 and there won’t be until 1789. The “English people” had nothing to do with the Declaration and the population of the colonies was 48% English with the rest of the colonies population were German, Swedish, Irish, Scottish, and from other European countries.
thomas Jefferson did write the declaration of independence that is why when running for president most people voted for him they thought he could respect our country's freedoms. he did not write the constitution James Madison wrote that.
John Locke was known to influence Thomas Jefferson while he was writing the Declaration of Independenc. He rewrote John Lockes qoute "life liberty and property" to be "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness".
