On July 2, 1776, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Livingston,
|
|
Roger Sherman, and Thomas Jefferson finished the final draft of their
|
|
Declaration of Independence. Two days later, on July 4, delegates from the
|
|
Continental Congress passed the declaration unanimously. The declaration
|
|
contained a basic but integral principle which is important even today, and
|
|
justified the independence movement for the newly formed United States of
|
|
America.
|
|
|
|
The preamble to the declaration established a small but vital principle
|
|
that "whenever any form of government becomes destructive...it is the right
|
|
of the people to alter or abolish it." This principle has continued to be
|
|
significant to the United States because it gives every citizen the right
|
|
to question the government and to actually do something about it.
|
|
|
|
The second part of the declaration consisted of a list of
|
|
justifications for departing from the British Empire. Some major
|
|
justifications which were listed are: "He[King George III] has forbidden
|
|
his Governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance,"
|
|
quartering "large bodies of armed troops" among people in the New world and
|
|
for "imposing taxes on us without our consent."
|
|
|
|
Finally the Continental Congress began the process of applying these
|
|
principles when the declaration was adopted on July 4, 1776. After this,
|
|
the Congress sent the document to the printer. Then, by the end of 1776,
|
|
independent governments were functioning in every state except Georgia and
|
|
New York. Each new state government had three branches: an executive
|
|
branch, a legislature, and a court system. Most state constitutions
|
|
guaranteed certain inalienable rights that the governments could not take
|
|
away.
