US Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, legal documents.
That phrase "We the people..." is not in the Declaration of Independence. It is in the US Constitution.
The Declaration of Independence
No, the US Constitution was made 11 years after.
Not the Declaration but the Constitution which follows the principles from the Hammurabi code.
The fifteenth amendment of the Declaration of Independence declared that people of color had the right to vote.
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.
Some of the political and legal ideas contained in the declaration of independence in the US constitution and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man are philosophical and political rights.
Both the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence emphasize the principles of individual rights and the importance of government being derived from the consent of the governed. They reflect Enlightenment ideals, particularly the belief in liberty, equality, and justice. While the Declaration outlines the philosophical foundations for independence and the right to self-governance, the Constitution establishes the framework for the functioning of the government that protects those rights. Together, they serve as foundational documents that shape American democracy.
