Explanation:
This paragraph is the opening of the very Declaration of Independence which was adopted by the Second Continental Congress, and which was signed on July 4th, 1776. This Declaration of Independence is the document through which the American colonies informed their British motherland, and the world itself, why they were declaring themselves in rebellion and established the principles under which the new nation would be born. It must be remembered that this document, which was authored by such minds as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, was influenced greatly by philosophical and political currents of thought that were at the time also influencing European ways of thought and government. And these philosophical ideals, and political theories, became part of the Declaration of Independence. More than a mere declaration with words, it becomes the framework that will lead Americans thereafter.
They faced challenges such as how to accommodate states that had basically ruled. How to create a strong central government without giving too much power to one group & how to give small & large states equal representation.
