"The Declaration Of Independence" Soapst Discussion

As every American citizen knows, the Declaration Of Independence was the first document which gave our nation freedom. One of the best pieces of literature ever written, the Declaration of Independence discusses why the colonists needed independence, all the mistakes King George III made, and the rights that all human beings need to have. It was presented to the Second Continental Congress on July 4,1776, which until today we celebrate as the Fourth of July, or our Independence day. Thomas Jefferson being the main author of the piece, wrote it in such a way that it seems as if the colonists have all come together to write this one piece of literature which demands their independence and their inalienable rights. Example of one of the inalienable rights are "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness". Also, it was written in a way to give reason to all the colonists to fight for the Revolutionary cause, and to separate from England. The different tones used in this document appeal to the whole audience, which are King George III and the American Colonists. The demanding tone used in the beginning of the piece is for King George, the inspiring tone is for the colonists, and at the end, a conclusive tone is used to finish the piece. An example for the inspiring tone for the colonists is " We therefore the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the SUpreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of RIght ought to be Free and Independent States". In entirety, the subject of Independence is discussed, and used as a driving force for the colonists to fight.
