Aspects of the Declaration of Independence

             The Declaration of Independence was a daring and moving document which marked the birth of a new nation.  It mainly consists a list of grievances the colonists state against King George. The complaints rebel for liberty, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. Throughout the message, the ruler is claimed to be a tyrant in every single way.

             One of the charges affirmed that “He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of people.” This accuses the king to have cut the peoples’ voice. That by all means, he has possessed a dictator-like character and rules with an iron fist. The citizens are angered because they do not possess a legislature in which they can be fairly represented. They fed on the idea that the government served primarily for the people. Therefore, an oppressive monarchy had begun to disgust many. Nowadays, the U.S has a bicameral congress and separate branches in which no one body has too much power. Following this form of government, the right decisions are able to be made by representing the nation with justice.

           Another charge put forward was that “He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Land.” This obstructed the United States from growing as a country and as a people. King George purposely set this to keep the colonies only colonies, not to grow powerfully and ethnically and the United States. Many new lands and discoveries were hid away from the Americans because of this. Nowadays, The U.S has grown into a superior country from the east coast to the west. Many more states were established and trading harbors opened which led the country into a more economic success.
