Declaration of Independence

There are five parts of the Declaration of Independence, according to the National Archives' description on its website. But many historians have critiqued the document and some feel that it could be looked at as having three, four or even six parts. In view of the discrepancy on what, in one sense, is just a matter of opinion, I will go with the National Archives' opinion of five and leave it to readers to form their own opinions as to how many parts there are. The parts are: 1. The Introduction. This is the opening paragraph; a single sentence beginning with "We the People..." It is sometime erroneously referred to as the Preamble, probably because the opening paragraph of the US Constitution is referred to as the Preamble to the Constitution. 2. The Preamble. The second paragraph, which begins with "We hold theses truths to be self-evident. The Preamble sets the logic al argument that people have rights, that people form governments to secure those rights and when a government becomes destructive of those rights, the people have a right and a duty to throw off that government. 3. The Indictment of King George III. The list of wrongs the King has done to show the ways in which the King has abused the rights of the colonists. 4. The Denunciation of the British people. A statement announcing not only the separation of colonial government from British government, but colonial people from British people. 5. Conclusion. The Declaration of Independence from the King and his British peoples is the only logical conclusion to be taken from the above. What could lead to the different opinions on the number of parts. For one, the "Introduction" is mistakenly called the Preamble, the way the first paragraph of the Constitution is called. Admittedly, calling the second paragraph the "Preamble" seems wrong, but that is what the National Archives says. Some split the last two paragraphs into "Conclusion" and "Declaration" instead of calling both just the "Conclusion". Some combine the indictment of the king and the denunciation of the British peoples as one section.
The Declaration of Independence contains a preamble, a declaration of rights, a bill of indictment, and a formal statement of independence. It was written by Thomas Jefferson.

it ended segregation. maybe :) I hope I'm right

It began in Dolores, a small town near Guanajato about 230 miles northwest of Mexico City.

there are a couple of inconsistencies with your statement.

1. how would anyone know who the future presidents are unless the Illuminati really do exist and controll our society

2. How could a future president (meaning that he/she is alive now or later) sign a bill from 200+ years ago

When members of the Congress asked Thomas Jefferson to draft the DEclaration of Independence he did so. It only took 3 weeks for him to write it. Years later Thomas decided to make his words into reality in Virginia. :]

Actually the first United States Census wasn't taken until 1790; at the time 3,929,326 people lived in the U.S.

However, it is estimated that the 1776 population was about 2.5 million people.

In 1776, the thirteen American colonies declared via the Declaration of Independence, their independence from the British Empire. As an aside, in literature, 1776 was the publication date of Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

There are many definitions given about this difference, and in many countries, laws and comments the terms are used in different ways. Wikipedia for one mentions 'freedom of speech' at the same time under 'civil rights' and under 'civil liberties'. But you could say that civil rights are general rules and freedoms that apply to any- and everybody in the same way, and that civil liberties are (often) specific rules and freedoms that apply to specific situations.

Thomas Jefferson was the one who wrote the declaration of indenpendance. But he was on a committee of five men and with their revising they made a total of 80 changes. Mostly though its all Thomas Jefferson, just with a little changes.

The youngest person to sign the Constitution was Jonathan Dayton. He was 26 years old when he signed the constitution. The oldest was Benjamin Franklin. He was 81 years old.

Well, for one, the declaration helped the thirteen colonies break away from Great Britain and the tyranny that was going on. It showed that we were now free, independent states and no longer part of Britain.

It is believed Thomas McKean of Delaware was the last person to sign. When Congress authorized the printing of an official copy with the names attached in January 1777, McKean's name was not included. He signed after that date, or the printer made a mistake by omitting him.

The American Revolution caused changes in all these areas, which was why it was fought. Politically and socially, male citizens were now able to vote and choose their own form of government. Economically, the United States was no longer subservient to other British colonies due to high tariffs and taxes. Now the US was free to develop trade on its own.

Colonialism is the exploitation by a stronger nation towards a weaker nation. The use of the weaker nation's resources is to strengthen and enrich the stronger nation. Colonizing nations generally dominate the resources, labor and markets of the colonial territory. Colonialism is essentially a system of direct political, economic and cultural intervention by a powerful country in a weaker one. Neocolonialism on the other hand is a term used by post-colonial critics of developed countries' involvement in the developing world. Critics of neocolonialism state that private, foreign business companies continue to exploit the resources of the states that were once colonized by an outside country.

The people can either start boycotts, or break away from the government as did America.

Propaganda techniques are used when someone is trying to persuade someone into their point of view. One of the most recognized types of propaganda used in the Declaration of Independence is "name calling". The writers of the Declaration referred to the King as a "tyrant" in this respect.

John Hancock did not write the Declaration of Independence; it was mostly the work of Thomas Jefferson. All Hancock did was sign it first and very boldly, knowing that by signing it the British would consider that he (and all the other signers) had committed treason.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.

According to john Locke a right was to have liberty, life, and happiness. This is a philosophy and not an actual ability that governments can do. He said that God gave man these rights and in the time of kings that was a revolutionary idea.
