Basic Ideas of the“Declaration of Independence” 1. Introduction 2. Democratic Philosophy of Govern 3. List of Grievances w/ England 4. Conclusion

1. Introduction

-”decided to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with England & to declare Independence”

declare to the world the reasons they are seperating from Britian”

2. Democratic Philosophy “All men are created

equal, endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights”

GOD gave us rights “To secure these rights,

gov’t is constituted & derive their powers from the consent of the governed”

Gov’t must protect those rights

“Whenever gov’t does not follow it’s social contract, people have the right to abolish it

People have the right to change the government if it doesn’t protect those rights
