The Declaration of Independence declared to Britain that they no longer had power over us. The Constitution shaped the way we would function as a country. Let's get back to paying attention to it, shall we?
I want a small government: small enough to fit inside the Constitution.

The Declaration was just what it sounds like - a declaration to Britain that the colonies were free from Britain. The Constitution was the basis of laws for the U.S., and shaped the country as it is today.
