And thanks for the help.

Answer 1

That would be C. That's why it's called the Declaration of Independence.

Answer 2

Of the choices you gave, C. would be the best choice. Better put, it was to declare the colonies' desires to be independent from Great Britain. It was this declaration that led to the American Revolution, a war that was led by Gen. George Washington. After the colonists won the war, representatives met to name a President, and to write a Constitution and to form a government.
I know because I taught Social Studies for several years, and this information is in every book ever written about the formation of the USA.
And, how old are you? (easy question)

Answer 3

Well, it's already been mentioned, but C is the correct answer. The other choices all came later.

The Declaration was intended to accomplish several things. It was a form of modern propaganda, meant to persuade colonists (who were British Loyalists) to sever all ties to Great Britain, and become a self-governing.

The Declaration was also used as a commercial tool. The now-independent United States could establish trade relations with other countries (as a British colony, that was impossible).

Also, it was intended to really annoy King George III of Britain, who was widely regarded as an irritating weenie. John Hancock's extra-large signature (arguably the most famous of all the signatures) was written that way intentionally; Mr. Hancock wanted to be sure that King George could read it without putting on his glasses.

Answer 4

C. It was an act of the Second Continental Congress. Written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, the document explained why the Congress felt it was necessary to secede from the British crown.

I worked for the National Park Service at Independence National Historical Park, and loved every second of it.

Nothing sets down better the purpose of the document than the following quote:

"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." --President Abraham in his Gettysburg Address

Answer 5

C, The purpose of the Declaration of Independence was to break from Britain and to assert the rights for a free government away from British rule. It was basically an outline of how to achieve freedom from Britain.

Answer 6

It's C because from what I recall the DOI was to finally break off all ties to England and make it's an independent country. Even in the DOI there's a sentence that talks about how bad of a ruler the King of England was. (I think lol)

Answer 7

c. because im in ap us history and the declaration of independence basically declared America's independence from Britain. It was also a list of grievances for the king.

C.
I know because I pay attention in History class. Also. I read the Declaration in second grade.

Answer 9
