The declaration of the Independence
The Declaration of Independence of Unites States of America
The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America refers to a series of treaties or covenants led directly to Congress in England, by which these thirteen colonies strongly felt oppressed in various ways. With this statement, the settlers wanted to achieve the same independence as had other European countries. The colonists wanted to get a system of self-government, complete independence, establish a trading system and all shares of an independent nation.
The text refers to the situation the colonies continuously found themselves in. The colonists had to pay very high taxes to the metropolis in order to rebuild the country after the seven years’ war against France. The colonies were unable to recover economically due to the greatly restricted trade with England and taxes. In addition, the king of Great Britain at that time exercised tyranny over the colonies and repeated injuries and usurpations. In the declaration, there is a long list that names all and every injustice to the United States of America.
The most surprising and important point we can mention, " …in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor (1)."
