No one. The Declaration of Independence was mostly a statement to the British monarchy that the Colonies were seceding, citing noble universal human rights and a list of grievances of the British against the colonists. While suggesting human rights and advising the US Supreme Court, the document is not considered a legal document of the United States. "Rights" of Americans can be found in the Constitution and the Amendments thereof.
