The Declaration of Independence is extremely valuable for understanding American culture and American values. Its principles of self-governance and liberty live on.
The Declaration of Independence shows what the USA will not put up with then and now. The Colonies were tired of GB telling them what to do. Without the Declaration we would not be free today. The Declaration pretty much told GB that they were willing to wadge war against them and the Colonies won,which is why we are free today. The Declaration of Independence is the reason for the Constitution.
The long term effects would be that people still quote the declaration of independence today and it has been an inspiration for many.A short term effect could be that it motivated people at that time and made them realize what was happening.
It actually hasn't changed. The Declaration of Independence is statement of Enlightenment philosophy and it tells us the power is derived from the governed. When the people decide that a government no longer serves them they have the right to change the government. This is still done today through free elections. The Declaration of Independence doesn't set law or fix boundaries only the constitution can do that.
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.
