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.
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.
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).
Both reflect ideas of Enlightenment thinkers. :)

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.
The one main difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Declaration of Sentiments is that the DoI was written by Thomas Jefferson, a man, in 1776; while the DoS was written by Elizabeth Cady Standon, a woman, in 1848.
The Declaration of Independence showed what the patriots wanted, and the Treaty of Paris made the dream real.
