The Declaration of Independence

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

             The Declaration of Independence is an important document because it basically describes that the United States is no longer under the rule of Great Britain. On July 4th of 1776  was when the United declared its Independence and also announced the 13 colonies that they not longer be part of the British Empire. I found this paragraph to be especially significant because it talks about how the United states where able to accomplish their goal which was become an independent and free nation. In my opinion, I feel that when a country is able to become Independent it allows them to become more powerful, better decision makers and it allows them to become less reliable.However, for America this day is still an important day nowadays not only because the powerful meaning it this documentation contains but because it was also the start of a new nation.
