what are the six main parts of the declaration of independence?

Answer 1

There are really only 5 parts. The 6th part consists of the signatures.
1. The Introduction- (why independance is necessary).
2. The Preamble- (justifies revolution in terms of governmental philosophy).
3. Indictment- (of King George III) (states the harm the king has caused America)
4. Denunciation- (Conditions that justify a revolution. Concludes the Preamble).
5. Conclusion- (asserts that the noted conditions indeed call for revolution and one will take place).
6. Signatures

Answer 2

There are only four I think

The Declaration of Independence can be divided into four main parts. The first part is an introduction that states the purpose of the document, which was to explain why the American people were declaring independence from the government of Great Britain.
The second part is a theory of good government and individual rights generally accepted by Americans from the 1770s until today. In this theory, all individuals are equal in their possession of certain immutable rights. These rights are not granted by the government. Rather, they are inherent to human nature. Therefore, the first purpose of a good government is to secure or protect these rights. Further, a good government is based on the consent of the governed -- the people -- who are the sole source of the government's authority. If their government persistently violates this theory of good government, then the people have the right to overthrow it.

The third part of the document is a list of grievances against King George III, who was singled out to represent the actions of the British government. These grievances are examples of actions that violated the criteria for good government stated in the second part of the Declaration of Independence. These grievances, therefore, justify separation from the King's bad government and establishment of a good government to replace it.

The fourth and final part of the document is an unqualified assertion of sovereignty by the United States of America. It proclaims the determination of Americans to defend and maintain their independence and rights.

Answer 3

Josh had a good answer....Please remember the Five parts have
distinct names-The "Introduction"; the "Preamble"; the "Body", which is divided into two sections; and a "Conclusion". I guess if your Teacher insists,you could include the Signatures as the 6th part,as the others have stated...but that is an opinion,not fact.
No disrespect,but i wouldnt trust Wikipedia for facts. If you would like to check mine, i will give you a link...

Directly from the source of our Freedom....
