What was the purpose of The Declaration of Independence and when was it written?

Answer 1

Written between June and July of 1776 and adopted on July 4, 1776. It was written by American colonists declaring their Independence from the British Monarchy and to become their own nation. In the document, there is a list of grievances for why the colonists wanted to leave the King's control.

Answer 2

There are many different Declarations of Independence around the globe. Each of these declarations is written to declare independence from either one or more nations. Therefore, a Declaration of Independence states that a nation is free from rule from all outsiders.

In your question, I believe that you are referring to the United States' Declaration of Independence. In this document, the Founding Fathers declared that the people being ruled by the British were no longer a part of the power regime of the Britain government. This declared the people and country the United States of America.

In the original United States of America, there were 13 states (previously colonies under British rule). The Declaration of Independence was made in the Summer of 1776, and signed on July 4, 1776.

During the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the United States was already involved in the Revolutionary War - a direct cause of breaking ties with Britain. This document was the proof that showed that the settlers of America did not want anything to do with the British.
