Declaration of Independence

The English philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) is often cited as a major influence on the political philosophy of Thomas Jefferson. However, his writing also reflects themes of other scholars, notably Rousseau and Montesquieu.

During the Founding Period of the United States, two basic sides emerged in the ongoing debate concerning the privileges and responsibilities (and so forth) of the American government. The Federalists favored a very strong central (or, federal) government that would oversee each state in the union. The Anti-Federalists, by contrast, favored a weaker central government, with each state in the union having the most privilege (and responsibility) in respect to governance within its boundaries.
The Declaration of Independence divided the Colonists into patriots and loyalists. The patriots wanted freedom from British rule, while the loyalists wanted to remain loyal to the King.

to everyone that is not black

The anti-slavery language was removed from the Declaration because of intensive opposition from the southern and central states. Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia had the most to lose. Delaware and Maryland also had slaves. Slave trading was also very profitable for northerners, particularly Connecticut and Rhode Island.

The colonist didn't do the right thing because the English just tax them more after the whole surplus of tea.

what are the principles that are articulated in the document of The Declaration of Independence of the thirteen colonies

they were concerned about not being able to vote

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

because he was black

I think it's fair to ignore the first answerer. There's no real reason that I'm aware of except that they simply disagreed about nearly everything. Jefferson wanted to spread the power, but Hamilton wanted to keep amongst a few elites. Jefferson feared tyranny, but Hamilton feared anarchy. Jefferson was free and creative, but Hamilton was neat and organized. Jefferson wore plainer clothes; Hamilton dressed more formally. Jefferson supported farming; Hamilton, manufacturing. Jefferson = strict construction; Hamilton = loose construction. The list goes on.

The Enlightenment and John Locke's ideas of natural rights and social contract.

Jefferson's father owned some 6000 acres of land which was a lot of land even in those days and would be worth millions today. He died at age 49 and so was not able to realize his full potential for making money, but he was far from poor.

This states the men back then had free lifes and had to battle in the wars in world war2 and world 3 and last but not least they sill have to go to work and bring home mony to take care of ther familys

It confirmed to the colonists and to Britain that due to a number of grievances, the colonies were declaring their independence from Great Britain.

because he was the president of the U.S.A

Could you imagine your life without freedom, you wouldn't be able to speak or write freely, you wouldn't be able to practice your own religion or express yourself.

Maybe you've already picked up what I'm putting down, but without any freedoms, we're restricted from EVERYTHING.

1) There is a God

2) God gives rights

3) Government exists to protect the rights that God gives

4) There is a moral law

5) Below the moral law, people get to govern

6) If the government doesn't do those five things, the people have the right to a new government

If you are referencing Betsy Ross she wasn't involved in any activity and NO woman was allowed to vote or be involved in government. She also did not make the flag. This is a story her grandson made up when she was 80 years old. This is just one of the fables that is thought of as history.

Perhaps you would prefer to read the document and see for yourself. In that way, you can not only learn those words but also see the context and understand the full implications. http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm
