An end to the slave trade and an expansion of women's rights were the colonial actions that were omitted in the Declaration of Independence. The various delegates could not agree on these two issues, and in the interest of unanimity, they had to be omitted from the Declaration.

Why does the Book of Chronicles leave King Solomon and King David out?

----------------------- The Books of Kings are believed to have been written during the reign of King Josiah of Judah, during the seventh century BCE, and with his authorisation. They present the legendary ancestors of King Josiah in a glorious light, with David slaying the mighty Goliath and Solomon as the wisest king there ever was. The two Books of Chronicles provide a history that more or less parallels the Deuteronomic history, but presents the priestly point of view. It covers Kings David and Solomon, but here the priests and prophets are more important than in the earlier accounts. Some of the more improbable passages in the Deuteronomic History were altered or omitted, as were some references to the polytheistic past. The story of David slaying Goliath was entirely omitted. The various attempted coups against David were omitted, and the succession of Solomon was attributed to God rather than to political necessity.

Why was slavery omitted from the Declaration of Independence?

In practically relevant terms for American society in the 18th century, the Declaration of Independence ignored the issue of slavery because of the tremendous internal divisions which the Continental Congress suffered from. Many American patriots were dedicated slave-holders, while many were not. The issue was left unresolved until independence could be won. In theoretical terms, however, the Declaration does hold out the truth that all persons in a truly free society are created equal and deserve equality before the law (and in any other significant respect).


Did an early draft of the declaration of independence denounced slavery and blamed it on the English king?

No, the early draft of the Declaration of Independence did not explicitly denounce slavery or blame it on the English king. Although there were debates over the issue of slavery during the drafting process, any mention of it was ultimately omitted in order to maintain unity among the colonies. The blame for slavery was primarily directed towards the British government for its policies and enforcement.
