One of the complaints of the Declaration of Independence was the fact the Britain did not allow the colonies to establish a Judiciary Branch. Once independence was won, this branch was entered into the Constitution and would become the Supreme Court, which is one of the strongest parts of the governmental branches. The Framers never intended for the Judicial Branch to be the strongest, but rather the weakest.
Each and every point discussed within the Declaration of Independence was intended to clarify the intent of the Colonies to break free from British rule completely and become a self sufficient governing nation.
At that time the colonies were in revolt against Britain, which wanted to keep them in the Empire by all means including war. The Declaration was necessary as a formal statement to Britain and the world that the colonies intended to be free of British rule. If Britain had voluntarily given the colonies their freedom (or otherwise addressed their many grievances, as suggested by Lord North) there would have been no need for them to declare independence unilaterally.
He wrote it to send to King George III requesting independence from England.

It wasn't. It was written for the benefit of the colonies that were to become a nation. The declaration was intended for kids just as much adults within the new nation.
I believe it was meant for everyone in general.Yes as stated in the Declaration Of Independence by Thomas Jefferson
Citizens of the American Colonies .
Yes, the Declaration of Independence can be considered a piece of propaganda as it was intended to persuade individuals, both in the colonies and abroad, to support the American cause for independence from Britain. It emphasized the injustices suffered under British rule and the principles of self-governance that the colonists believed they were entitled to.

The Declaration of Independence is a separate document that announced to England that the colonies didn't want to be ruled by Parliament. It led to the Revolutionary War and when that was over, the Articles of the Confederacy and then the Constitution were written over the next several years. Both, in my opinion, are beautifully written and are very clear in their intent.
The key assertion found in the Declaration of Independence is that all men are created equal. This is intended as an explicit rejection of the aristocratic system prevalent in Europe at the time, which was based upon the belief that some people are born better than others, due to "noble blood". It also includes the belief that men are more important than women. Consequently, the structure of government which emerged after the revolution was a kind of limited democracy, in which all adult male citizens had the vote. The persistence of slavery was an anomaly, certainly not consistent with the assertion that all men are created equal, and that was not really addressed until the Civil War.
"that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursit of happiness." - Declaration of Independence.. and The Bible! <3
