The Declaration of Independence


Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is immediately the country's most appreciated image of freedom and Jefferson's most persisting landmark. Here, in lifted up and exceptional expressions, Jefferson communicated the feelings in the personalities and hearts of the American individuals. 


The political rationality of the Declaration was not new; its beliefs of individual freedom had as of now been communicated by John Locke and the Continental thinkers. What Jefferson did was to condense this logic in "undeniable truths" and put forward an arrangement of grievances against the King with a specific end goal to legitimize before the world the breaking of ties between the states and the motherland. We welcome you to peruse an interpretation of the complete content of the Declaration.
