Declaration of Independence

where did the basic ides of goverment come from?

The greater majority of the delegates did not sign until August 2, 1776. Only John Hancock and the Secretary of Congress, Charles Thomson signed it on July 4, 1776. Although Congress had decreed that all delegates sign it on August 2, there were still some delegates who did not sign it till later.

The Declaration of Independence was a liberal document because it sought to change the status quo. The colonists were finally sick of being under the king's thumb.

New England was one of the 3 sections of the 13 colonies and it didn't separate from Britain by itself. On July 4, 1776 the 13 colonies declared independence from Britain.

It's known as living , Because when can edit it , which are called Amendments .

Some copies are called "broadsides", one sheet printings of large documents. When the Congress adopted the final form of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, it went to a printer named Charles Dunlap, who printed several copies which were to be distributed to the states and armies. That copy had only John Hancock and Charles Thomson's (the Secretary of Congress) signatures. After the engrossed version was made and finally signed by most of the delegates another printing was done in another broadside, this time by Mary Katherine Goddard. There are several copies of Dunlap Broadsides and Goddard Broadsides still in existence.

We (Americans) got Independence from British rule.

Yes; most definitely. The northern and southern colonies would have been divided and, thus, there would have been no American Revolution to begin with. The South would have most likely remained loyal to Britain and the North could not fight on their own.

MoreIt's not possible to say whether the Revolution would have succeeded or failed if the Declaration of Independence had included a clause that emancipated slaves. Though slavery was present in all the colonies, it was most prevalent in the southern colonies, those most dependent on inexpensive labor in a farm-based economy. By the time of the Revolution, many in the northern colonies had already divested themselves of slaves, though less out of a sense of moral duty than out of a need for simple thrift. Slaves, while providing "free" labor, did tend to eat every day, and had to be clothed and housed, however poorly. In the north, a trend away from agriculture was beginning to obviate the need for the cheap labor of slaves.

In the event, the Revolution was fought primarily by northerners, on northern territory, and had little impact on the southern colonies. It is easy to speculate that the outcome of the war itself would have been the same.

However, the ratification of the Constitution would have been a much tougher go if it had banned slavery.

Slavery was a minute issue in 1776. It could have been handled properly in the nation under the Articles of Confederation, or in the US Constitution. Slave states then were a handful. If they refused to join the US, the US would have prospered without slavery. It's too bad the Framers failed to see this.

It gave some courage and determination but made others unhappy.

Some people go to parades, others go to the park, others go to the beach, and still others go camping.

Some people go to the National Mall in Washington, DC. I like to stay home and watch the show on TV.

the quote thomas Jefferson said was " we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights to secure these rights governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

Actual independence was declared by the Second Continental Congress on July 2, 1776. On that date, a resolution to declare independence from Great Britain was passed by a voice vote. The journals of the Second Continental Congress record this vote. The written Declaration was then authorized in order to make it known to the world that the colonies had declared their independence and give the reasons for doing so. John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that July 2 will be forever remembered as the day of independence and celebrated with parties and fireworks. He was off by two days even though he was actually correct.

The preamble listed the six goals of the Constitution. It is accompanied by 7 articles that dexcribe how the government is oraganized andhow it works.

There are 27 amendments that allows lawmakers to change or add to the Constitution.

In the Declaration of Independence, they where fighting for freedom. The idea that all people have a right to life and liberty.

There was 80 changes made to the Declaration of Independence.

The ones that the Constitution states and in the amendments. That is why they are "inalienable rights" meaning that every person has them from the day that they were born and anybody who takes them away have committed a federal crime.

Thomas Jefferson believed that the United States should not have a strong central goverment; he thought the real power should lie with the state governments, and he spent much of his presidency alterring the country to fit these criteria. Also, he believed that the country should be based off its average citizen: the farmer and the person who worked hard to provide for himself and his own living. He wanted to avoid the urban city messes that were too common in Europe, as well as to avoid the poverty and inequality. An agrarian republic is one based off the promotion of agriculture, which is what Jefferson wanted the United States to be.

From the United States Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
