LAD/Blog #3: "Declaration of Independence"

1.) Some democratic principles included in the Declaration of Independence are: that all men are created equal, that all people have certain unalienable rights, and that governments are instituded among men, while getting those powers from the consent of the governed.
2.) Some grievances listed in Declaration include, "He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good" and "He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and, when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them."
3.) In the conclusion of the Declaration of Independence, the representatives of the United States of America solemnly published and declared that the United Colonies had the right to be free and independent states and to be removed from the powerful hands of the British crown.
