The Declaration of Independence is an act declaring the independence of 13 US colonies under British rule. It is the first formal act of a representative body proclaiming the principle of national sovereignty.

Explanation:

  • The declaration was made on July 4, 1776 by the Second Continental Congress held in Philadelphia; that day in the US later began to be celebrated as National Independence Day.
  • The content of the Declaration was most influenced by Th. Jefferson. The Declaration is based on the settings of the School of Natural Law and the philosophy of J. Locke, while similar in structure to the European feudal charters of liberty, in particular the English Bill of Rights of 1688.
  • The declaration, in the introductory part, proclaims the inalienable natural rights of man to equality, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the right of the people to independence and the free choice of government, and the right of the people to rebellion and the removal of tyrannical power.
  • He then enumerates thirty violations of the rights of the colonies committed by the British king, justifying their rebellion; ends with the proclamation that the united colonies are free and independent states.

Evgesh-ka [11]

The efforts of little turtle in the early 1790s represented an attempt by Indians to resist white expansion by military force.

Little Turtle was a Sagamore (head) of the people of Miami, who evolved into one of the most famous Native American military commanders. Historian Wiley Sword names him "perhaps the most capable Indian leader then in the Northwest Territory," although he subsequently signed several treaties surrendering land, which caused him to lose his chief status during the wars which became a opening to the War of 1812.

In the 1790s, Light Turtle led a coalition of native warriors to several major victories against U.S. forces, sometimes called "Little Turtle's War".
