    REFERAT

    Declaration of Independence
    elev: Merisanu Bianca Andra

    Colegiul National Anastasescu, 2015

    The Declaration of Independence is the


    usual name of a statement adopted by
    the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which
    announced that the thirteen American
    colonies, then at war with Great Britain, regarded
    themselves as thirteen newly
    independent sovereign states, and no longer a part
    of the British Empire. Instead they formed a new
    nationthe United States of America.
    The sources and interpretation of the
    Declaration have been the subject of much
    scholarly inquiry. The Declaration justified the
    independence of the United States by listing
    colonial grievances against King George III, and by
    asserting certain natural and legal rights, including
    a right of revolution. Having served its original
    purpose in announcing independence, references
    to the text of the Declaration were few for the next
    four score years. Abraham Lincoln made it the
    centerpiece of his rhetoric (as in the Gettysburg

    Address of 1863), and his policies. Since then, it


    has become a well-known statement on human
    rights, particularly its second sentence:
    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.
    This has been called "one of the best-known
    sentences in the English language", containing "the
    most potent and consequential words in American
    history". The passage came to represent a moral
    standard to which the United States should strive.
    This view was notably promoted by Abraham
    Lincoln, who considered the Declaration to be the
    foundation of his political philosophy, and argued
    that the Declaration is a statement of principles

    through which the United States


    Constitution should be interpreted.
    It provided inspiration to numerous
    national declarations of independence throughout
    the world.
