Answer:

No, The Declaration was fundamentally a formal explanation of why Congress broke its political ties with Britain on July 2, more than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolution.

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America is a document drafted by the Second Continental Congress - in the Pennsylvania State Chamber (now Hall of Independence) in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776 - which proclaimed that the Thirteen American Colonies - then at war with the Kingdom of Great Britain — they had defined themselves as thirteen new sovereign and independent states and no longer recognized British rule; instead they formed a new nation: the United States. John Adams was one of the politicians who undertook the independence process, approved on July 2 by the full Congress without opposition. A committee was responsible for drafting the formal declaration, which was presented when Congress voted on it two days later.

Clinton accepted the defeat against Trump, who won the 2016 presidential election with 304 electoral votes against Clinton's 227.1 The states that gave him (against most predictions) Trump's victory were, mainly, the states industrialists of the Great Lakes region: Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In addition to these, the Republican candidate also managed to prevail in the two major states in dispute, or "swing states", of recent decades: Ohio and Florida, and in other minor "swing" states such as Arizona, Georgia, Iowa and Carolina. North. Clinton, on the other hand, took over contested states such as Colorado, Nevada, Virginia and New Hampshire.

Therefore, the Republican candidate Trump won the elections, despite having obtained the support of 2.8 million voters less than his Democratic rival. As data scientist Azhar Hamdan points out, in the end the 2016 elections were not decided by that advantage of almost three million votes from Hillary Clinton, but rather the narrower advantage of just 78,000 votes that Trump achieved in three counties of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania
