The Declaration of Independence articulates the colonies' decision to break away from British rule due to grievances such as taxation without representation, the denial of basic rights, and a lack of self-governance. It emphasizes the inherent rights of individuals to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, asserting that governments derive their power from the consent of the governed. By declaring independence, the colonies sought to establish a government that would protect these rights and reflect their aspirations for freedom and equality. This document not only justified their separation but also laid the philosophical foundation for a new nation.
