Answer:
5 reasons on why the Declaration of Independence was the most influential turning point in American history.
Explanation:
1-The Declaration of Independence signaled the formal beginning of the Revolutionary War, with the Thirteen Colonies separating from Britain.
2- This was the "first" major document that the colonies made together which was their first major step towards being a free country that was separate from Great Britain (England).
3- Because of the signing of this document other countries such as France now saw the colonies as a separate country from England and therefore aided the colonies during the Revolutionary War.
4- Many laws that were attempted to be put in place were n longer valid and were not enforced. These laws included the Sugar Act (1764), the Stamp Tax (1765), the Townshend Acts (1767), and the Tea Act (1773).
5- The Quartering Act (1765), which forced colonists to help pay for the British military stationed in the colonies, was no longer a thing as the colonists now were helping to aid their side of the war.
Gridlock, or deadlock, is a situation where there is a difficulty to pass laws that please people and their needs.
Hope it helps!
