The Declaration of Independence is not a law, so it cannot be violated in the same way the Constitution can. The spirit of the Declaration is, arguably, violated whenever the US uses force or the threat of force to deprive people in other countries of their right to determine their own form of government, as happened in Nicaragua, Cuba, Panama, and Guatemala in the 1st half of the twentieth century.

The most unique violation which i can see in The Declaration Of Independence is that most of the people who helped pen it owned slaves & had the nerve to put in it the phrase...ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL...To name a few---Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, James Madison, James Monroe
