Declaration of Independence

In the summer of 1776 at the Second Continental Congress, Thomas Jefferson was charged with drafting a formal statement that declared the colonies’ independence from Great Britain and justified their decision to do so. The Declaration listed a series of grievances against the British government and asserted that the colonies had the right to form their own government. It also outlined the core principles of democracy, such as the belief in natural rights and the idea that a government derives its power from the consent of the governed. The Declaration of Independence is a major part of the United States’ history and is a symbol of the freedoms and liberties enjoyed by its citizens.
