What revolutionary actions does the Declaration of Independence suggest should be the duty of citizens?
The Declaration of Independence was the first document to justify a revolution against an established government. The Declaration has three parts. It starts with a statement of basic human rights that all people enjoy--"rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" It then goes on to proclaim that a just government is one that has the consent of the people being governed. This is the revolutionary action -- when a government fails to protect the rights of the people or is destructive of the rights of the people, then the people have the right to alter or abolish the government and form a new government that will be protective of the people's rights. The second part of the Declaration is listing of specific complaints the colonists had against King George III. The third part of the Declaration contains the actual statement of independence from Great Britain. MrV
