The Declaration of Independence contains a very significant assertion, which isthat all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.

To write an assertion you introduce the quote or example, document the quote or example, then add commentary. If it is a quote from a book, then it will look like this. Intro to quote.
