One of the question I want to go over in the American revolutions why was the declaration of independence written. The declaration of independence was written because America wanted to become its own powerful country and not get ruled by England anymore. It also was to give all people that they where free people and they can not get ruled by anyone. It’s says that your also able to fight your government if you don’t like it and make a new one. It tells everyone is born equal and ruled by no creator or anything.
