Patrick Henry's interpretation of the Constitution emphasized individual liberties and the importance of limiting government power, which significantly influenced the content of the Declaration of Independence. His strong advocacy for personal freedoms and skepticism of centralized authority resonated with the colonial sentiments of the time, pushing leaders to articulate the need for independence. This focus on rights and the protection of citizens from oppressive governance became central themes in the Declaration, underscoring the colonies' justification for breaking away from British rule. Consequently, Henry's views helped to frame the revolutionary ideals of liberty and self-governance that defined the document.

The Declaration of Independence is the document that declared our freedom from the crown, and stated the we were separating from Great Britain and creating our own country. This created a need for a document to guide this new country. The Articles of Confederation preceded The Constitution, but gave so much power to the individual states that it became as if we were actually 13 separate countries, each colony having their own currency, laws, taxes, etc. This created the need for a more centralized federal government and from this need our Constitution was born and adopted on September 17, 1787. At 225 years old it is the oldest document that governs a nation to this day.
