One of the complaints of the Declaration of Independence was the fact the Britain did not allow the colonies to establish a Judiciary Branch. Once independence was won, this branch was entered into the Constitution and would become the Supreme Court, which is one of the strongest parts of the governmental branches. The Framers never intended for the Judicial Branch to be the strongest, but rather the weakest.

During the Founding Period of American History, Thomas Jefferson and other Founders blamed the King of Great Britain for the problems that caused the Revolution and the American Declaration, etc., for two reasons. First, King George was in fact a known belligerent in the affair, who was generally hostile to the American cause. Second, the position of 'king' was of great symbolic value for all concerned: for the Americans, it represented the corrupt and absolute rule, even tyrannical control from afar, that they were determined to overthrow.

Dao - 'the road / the way'- would seem to indicate a school of philosophy that prescribes a lot of specific 'ways': to yourself, others, salvation or whatever. But instead, it leaves most of that thinking to you, only telling you not to encumber yourself with what the rules of society or authority would tell you to think.

This is because Daoism has its origin as a reaction to Confucianism, which it saw as a rigid, detailed, traditional pattern of hierarchical social behavior.In ancient China, Daoism was mainly an opposition to authority, government, coercion, and even to normal socialization. Against Confucianist theories that aimed at a highly structured society and a correspondingly structured and conformist way of thinking - today's Singapore might in this sense be seen as a typically Confusianist society - Daoism put skepticism, toleration and political anarchism - or at least disinterest in political involvement.

This last point fits in nicely with the Daoist idea of non-interference with the 'natural' development of events. The focus on 'the way' to anything instead of on ambition and pre-determined results brings its adherents to strive for the simple life, letting things happen naturally.

The Declaration of Independence was a justification of the right of the colonists to revolt from what they had considered to be their rightful government. There was a list of specific grievances against the English king and some general statements about the rights of man. The declaration no longer has any legal status, but has great historical significance in the forming of the current United States. Of much greater effect on the lives of Americans today is the United States Constitution which was written and ratified by the same people who signed the Declaration of Independence and which is based on the same general philosophy of government. So, you might say the ideas in the Declaration of Independence are responsible for the good aspects of the current US government and for the freedoms that Americans enjoy .
