Declaration of Independence

No. The colonies subsequently had to fight a war for independence. The independence of the United States was only recognized by the United Kingdom in the Treaty of Paris of 1783, nearly seven years after the Declaration of Independence was signed.

Two of America's Charter Documents explained and listed those Natural Rights the Founders thought were most important to the idea of a free, self-governing nation.

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote that we Americans were taking this step "to assume... the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle [us]." That is, 'God gave us certain Natural Rights via the Laws of Nature, and we are asserting them now.'

The Bill of Rights is a more detailed list of specific Natural Rights, and the Constitution - although it doesn't mention these Rights explicitly - is designed in every clause to limit the federal government's ability to usurp them.

Cancer is your sign.

THink about it this way:

A foreign ruler has oppressed you and taxed you relentlessly (Stamp Act, Townshend Act, Sugar Act, etc.), closed your harbor (Intolerable Acts), and treated you unfairly.

Now, they send soldiers to two of your towns and kill some hundred people.

That would really tick most people off, and that's pretty much it. At that point, the colonists pretty much lost it and revolted.

Apparently he wanted to make the turkey the national bird. :/

The civil rights movement is important because according to the Constitution of the United States, all men are created equal and therefore should be treated equal. At present these right are not implemented equally to all of its citizens.

When you analyze their activities they played a small role in creating havoc with British forces. The Boston Tea Party was a spontaneous event push by Sam Adams because the British LOWERED the tea tax and this cost Adams and Hancock money. They were the biggest smugglers in the colonies and the they smuggled Dutch tea. The British lowering the tax made their tea more expensive than what the British sold. The Tea Party made the king mad which meant he sent more troops to the colonies and closed the harbor of Boston. The result was the Son's of Liberty started collecting more powder and guns and when the British caught wind that they were in Lexington they sent a patrol. The night of April 19, 1775 was the first shots of the war, so yes they did play a part. It was a matter of time that an event would take place.

When they signed the Declaration of Independence, they were going against the king, which was a form of treason and punishable by death. Therefore, it took courage to sign the declaration, and they weren't scared of doing the right thing.

I don't know but, i know what causes the war. The England's population and economic pushes toward the France's territory which led to the French and Indian war.

This meant that at the time of the Declaration only male property owners held these rights.

The Declaration of Independence names King George III, through Parliament and "his Governors" (although Parliament was not under his direct control, it typically did not pass laws he opposed).

The Magna Carta differs from the Declaration of Independence in the way that it influenced the Declaration, and was written in a time many years before the Declaration came into play. They both declare that there will be now unlawful imprisionment or rights taken away from citizens, but the Magna Carta was more the law of the land and the Declaration of Independence is the protection of citizens freedom.
