The US Constitution established rules for the US government, well the Declaration of Independence did not
The amount of time that elapsed between the announcement of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution was 11 years.
The Revolutionary War, signing of the Peace Treaty in France in 1783, and the appointment of America's first President took place, or were in the works between the writing of the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution.
eleven years
The Declaration of Independence emphasizes individual rights and the right to overthrow unjust governments, while the Constitution focuses on creating a stable government with checks and balances. This misalignment can be seen in the tension between the ideals of liberty and equality in the Declaration and the need for order and governance in the Constitution.
The US Constitution established rules for the US government, while the Declaration of Independence did not. The Declaration (1776) only stated that the states were no longer ruled by Britain, while the Constitution (1789) established the governmental framework for the independent nation, replacing the ineffective Articles of Confederation (1781).
The Declaration was only a statement that the US was separating itself from Great Britain. The Constitution- the law of the land- is the framework of how the US Government is supposed to function.
Both reflect ideas of Enlightenment thinkers. :)

In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was drafted on hemp paper.
The Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776.
NO. They are not the same. The Declaration of Independence broke our nation's tie with Great Britain. It was a declaration of our independence. The Constitution was the document that followed. It set our rule of government and how our nation would function.
