The co-authors of the Declaration of Independence include Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Livingston and John Adams. They asserted the autonomy of America, and the Union was no longer subject to British authority.
Breaking the political bonds outlined in the Declaration of Independence was crucial for the American colonies to assert their autonomy and establish themselves as a separate nation free from British rule. This declaration articulated the colonies' grievances against King George III and justified their desire for self-governance. By severing these ties, the colonies aimed to protect their natural rights and promote democratic principles, laying the foundation for a government that would be accountable to its citizens. Ultimately, it marked a pivotal moment in the pursuit of freedom and equality.
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen defines liberty as the freedom to do anything that does not harm others, emphasizing the importance of individual autonomy within a framework of social responsibility. It asserts that the exercise of liberty should be grounded in law, which protects the rights of all citizens. Additionally, it underscores that liberty is a natural right inherent to all individuals, integral to the realization of human dignity and equality.

Together, they represent both the vision and the practical means to achieve that vision.
