1. Democratic Principals: Well in the first sentence the democratic principals are shown, "All men are created equal" thats one of the most democratic ideas of America. The unalienalbe rights came next, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, whatever that may be. The next one is a biggy, the government derives its powers from the people, and that leads into the fact that if people are unsatisfied with the government then they have the right to abolosh or reform it any way they see fit.
2. The list of greviences against the king, they had a bunch but the ones that are particurally important or relivant were, quartering large bodies of armed troops amoung us. Cutting off our trade with the rest of the world. Imposeing taxes without their consent, impressing sailors. Killed the American people with mercinaries and soliders. Destroying the colonies self government they had created. Lastly the fact that even thought the colonists have offered peace agreements the king has rejected them.
3. Conclusion: The statment that the states are free and independent, they will no longer take orders from the crown. With this new freedom they have the power to wage war, make peace, and control their own economy. The list of names came afterwards in a silent statment of a revolution
