Declaration of Independence

The Declaration of Independence to Americans is much more than a piece of paper "telling off" an oppressive government and saying "lay off." The Declaration of independence to Americans is a piece of paper that is directly responsible for America to this day. It is responsible for empowering George W. Bush, the most powerful man in the world. It is responsible for bestowing upon generations and generations awesome nationalism, pride, love and respect for the greatest nation ever, due to the clever diction and debonair writings of an early patriot, Thomas Jefferson, forever etched in the minds of Americans nationwide.

To this day the Declaration remains relevant, yet no longer needed in everyday life, in sort, put to the wayside. The most historical aspect of the constitution, still in use today "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." These are the rights that everybody's freedom, in america a based from. These still are put f


A foreign king, or anybody can set up an office, just to harass Americans, and eat their food. It just won't happen, nobody has the power, and resolve to do so, and why would they, what would the stand to gain?

Taxes are one of the main reasons early patriots decided to cut all ties with the British, how could anybody, without our will, impose an unjust tax on us without our consent. Today we get fussy when the government tells us of a new tax headed our way. If our government has a hard time with it, what chance does a foreign power have. Once again, complete irrelevance to today's American society.

The king at one time prevented the establishment of a judiciary power. There is no man in the world that could prevent a court in America from functioning, let alone a whole branch. It's just that simple, no man other than the incarnate (was only half, the other god) could stop the United States judiciary from functioning. On top of that, no king is responsible for their tenure or salary.

The king had also made the military in the colonies completely independent, and more powerful than that of the people of the colonies. This was huge at the time, and slightly relevant to today's society in that it is the same thing as martial law, or rule by the military. I guess that you really don't have to worry about something like this unless the United States gets overwhelmed in utter chaos.

At one point the king had standing armies in the colonies for no reason during times of peace, almost definitely be quartered by the colonist, against their will without the consent of the Americans. This really no longer has an effect on today's society for a few reasons; 1. When the constitution was passed they specifically wrote against the housing and quartering act, 2. Being a superpower it's essential to maintain a powerful, standing superpower, 3. Those were British soldiers, not Americans, and 4. To this day, the U.S. armed forces employs way too many Americans.

However the idea immediately following the aforementioned is less relevant, really no longer needed in today's American society. Today we really do not have to worry about overthrowing our tyrannical government. With today's checks and balances the second a sector of the government steps out of hand and tries to oppress the people they
