The Decleration of Independence
While reading “The Decleration of Independence” the most powerful themes are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This reason being is because they are the right of every human being and it is the governments job to secure these rights for the people. It’s a powerful peace because when this was written it included every human not just the ones writing it. They wanted to make every one happy and wanted everyone to be equal which is stated in the first few paragraphs. In paragraph 2 it states, “That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government.” The great thing about America is everyone can have a dream and live it, there is no one that can hold you back from accomplishing it. Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are the 3 greatest things a person can have in America, and with those things you are able to achieve anything.

I found your quote, “That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government” very interesting.

I totally agree with you when you say Life,Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are the 3 greatest things a person can have. Alot of people in the world loose sight of that sometimes. The Decleration of Independence is very powerful writing.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quote was “They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.” I just feel it say it all about the breaking away and frredom you were talking about.
ReplyDeleteLife, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are three great things. It would be tough to live life without these three terms.
