It was treason. The declaration of independence was never open to be amended. The Constitution which can be amended wasn't written until years after the U.S. gained independence when weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation that we had originally been using. The Articles of Confederation could be amended as I recall but that could only occur with a unanimous vote and the Articles were had never been amended by the time that they were thrown out and replaced with the Constitution. You Bush bashers should try to make some sense when you say something next time.

When the Declaration was signed, the crime of high treason was committed, which was punishable by, among other things, the guilty party being drawn and quartered, and having their entrails cut out and burned.
