Answer th Countries around the world hoped to prevent human rights abuses in the future. is question…
The Declaration of Independence made three basic statements. That all men had certain rights that were given them by their Creator. That any government that abrogated those rights was tyrannical and should be rebelled against. That being the case, the American Colonies were declaring their Independence from Great Britain, and would fight to secure that Independence if necessary.

The Declaration of Independence is the document by which the colonies broke away from being governed by England. The Declaration recognizes that "All men are created equal" and that all people have rights endowed upon them by their creator. These righte being; Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Other rights enjoyed by Americans are enumerated in the US Constitution, not the Declaration of Independence. But without the Declaration, the Constitution would not be possible.
Declaration of IndependenceThe United States Declaration of Independence was influenced by the 1581 Dutch Republic declaration of independence, called the Oath of Abjuration. The Kingdom of Scotland's 1320 Declaration of Arbroath was undoubtedly also an influence as the first known formal declaration of independence. Jefferson is also thought to have drawn on the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which had been adopted in July 1776.

The Bill of Rights, written by James Madison, was influenced by the Virginia Declaration of Rights and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom in many ways. The first ten amendments of the Bill of Rights are similar to the Declaration of Rights, written by George Mason. For example, Article 8 of the Virginia Declaration of Rights keeps people from "being deprived of his liberty except by the law of the land", which later developed into part of the federal Bill of Rights. There are also sections of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, written by Thomas Jefferson, that can compare to the Bill of Rights. The five basic freedoms, found in the first amendment, are still prevalent in our communities and governments today. Separation of church and state is still an issue. People everywhere still adament that they have religious freedom.
Congress enacted 12 amendments to the Constitution because some states objected to the lack of rights being spelled out. The states ratified ten of the amendments and these became known as the Bill of Rights. No one signed them, as the Declaration of Independence was signed.
