The Declaration of Independence did not and does not give us any rights. It was a list of grievances the colonists had against King George the III and their declaration, or statement of intent, that they were rebelling or seceding from Great Britain. The US Constitution provides some rights, such as Habeas Corpus, but most of our individual rights come in the Bill of Rights (1st ten Amendments to the Constitution) and a few other Amendments. For example, the 1st Amendment covers freedom of Religion, Speech, Assembly, Press, and Petition, the 2nd Amendment is the right to bear arms, the 4th Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures, etc. The 14th Amendment is an important one too - it guarantees due process and equal protection under the laws.
