Explain one feature of the Declaration of Independence!!!!?

Question

Be specific please

Answer 1

The Declaration of Independence contains many of the founding fathers' fundamental principles, some of which were later codified in the United States Constitution. It was the model for the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention Declaration of Sentiments which proclaimed the rights of women using the same language. It has also been used as the model of a number of later documents such as the declarations of independence of Vietnam and Rhodesia. In the United States, the Declaration has been frequently quoted in political speeches, such as Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s I Have a Dream speech. The Declaration of Independence also acted as inspiration for parts of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (1789), one of the fundamental documents of the French Revolution.

The Declaration of Independence was an act of the Second Continental Congress, adopted on July 4, 1776, which declared that the Thirteen Colonies were independent of Great Britain. The Declaration, written chiefly by Thomas Jefferson, explained the justifications for breaking away, and was an expansion of the Lee Resolution (passed by Congress on July 2), which first proclaimed independence. Abraham Lincoln succinctly explained the central importance of the Declaration to American history in his Gettysburg Address of 1863:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
An engrossed copy of the declaration was signed by most of the delegates on August 2 and is now on display in the National Archives in Washington, D.C. The Declaration is considered to be the founding document of the United States of America, where July 4th is celebrated as Independence Day.

Answer 2

Not sure what you are looking for but it was actually a letter to England from Congress which were the representatives of the U.S. of A. Declaring there need to separate from the political power which oppressed them from there rights forwarded them by god the creator and nature of man kind. Then it goes on to give them a complete reason why and declares there new government. Then signed by congress and president John Hancock . p.s. Yes John Hancock was our 1st President however George Washington was the 1st elected president.

Answer 3

"We hold these truths to be self-evident"

The statues written here are self-explanatory. There should be no other interpretations to these laws.

Not true in our society today, as a "good" lawyer can get around any law, and any judge will allow it. Shame on them.

Answer 4

All the draft copies that were sent to the individual colonies were written on hemp paper. It's funny that current laws would require them to be seized and burned.
