The Declaration of Independence, arguably the most important document in our history, was a statement of purpose. The declaration is divided into four sections, the first and most recognized is the preamble; in the preamble the colonies explain why it is necessary to issue a declaration. Second, it describes the inalienable rights of every man, which include: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The third section, which often times is overlooked, is a large list of grievances and accusations against King George III. The final section the colonies declare that they are, and of right ought to be, free and independent.
