The Declaration of Independence is a very powerful document. To put the world on notice that there is a tyrant in the community that is infringing on the rights of the People takes a lot of courage to say the least.

Quote from Declaration of Independence:

"WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation."

This individuals were living under a rule that they felt obligated to defeat. Because if they continued in this state, they would be dooming their lives to intolerance, random violence, economic disaster, and lost of basic sovereignty and control over their future.

Powerful when you really stop and consider the words.

Quote from Declaration of Independence:

"WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness __ That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Wow! You have to remember that they are talking about the British Crown. This is deep because the British owned and controlled everything that was considered to be America, so they say. To have one of your own creations rebel against you is powerful. And imagine the size balls these people had to have to sign this death certificate.

Because had they lost the battle to the British Crown, all of them would have been executed. Believe that! The problem everyday people like myself have is understanding the deadly game some are playing with the rest of our lives. Yes, they will lie, cheat, steal, and murder to get ahead. It is the same game that has been played for centuries, the strong survive. That is the ideals of Western Thought.

The Declaration goes on to make many claims as to why they are departing. Most people don't read that far into it. Nevertheless, it is a powerful document and really sets up the Constitution or the Government the language of the Declaration of Independence talks about setting up in place of the Tyrannical Rule of the British Crown.
