The Declaration of Independence is not a law and cannot be validly anchored in an argument. It could be used as a guide but without effect.

The Declaration of Independence is not law. All of the binding laws passed with the joint approval of Congress and the President are located in the United States Code (U.S.C.)

Actually the declaration of Independence was a resolution, and not a law. It was used to declare the independence of this nation from England.
What are you trying to get at anyway?

It is not law. It is not part of the US code. It could be used generally to support an argument i.e. dicta.

you can use it for a basis for argument but it leaves alot of room for interpretation and you may get squashed
