Was the vision of the Declaration of Independence fulfilled?

Answer 1

You'll get plenty of opinions for this question. Mine is thus: yes it was, but not absolutely. The premise of seceding from Britain was definitely fulfilled, and through this and other protective measures many abuses of power were evaded and hampered. There were flaws and failures of the document's vision throughout America's history, but the rebellious (terrorist) colonists certainly got their wish when it came to ridding themselves of George III's tyrannical rule. As for stopping tyranny itself, all the signatures of all the colonial bigwigs were nothing but sterile, cosmetic wishes.
