Answer:
The correct answer to the question: What happened after the Declaration of Independence, would be, that the American colonies became free from British rule and the new states became independent, under a new system of government.
Explanation:
With the creation, communication, and ratification, of the Declaration of Independence, in 1776, which was drafted by Thomas Jefferson, the British American colonies were clearly declaring their absolute independence, and freedom, from the rule of the British crown, and the British Parliament. In essence, they were breaking free from their motherland. After this happened, and after the signature and acceptance had been complete, all the states that signed it were stating clearly that henceforth, they were independent, they were free of British rule, and were united now, under a new system of government and a new Constitution.
