Question

What describes the stylistic differences between the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer: The Declaration was intended for a wide audience and is written in a more powerful, persuasive style. The Bill of Rights was intended as a legal document while the Declaration carried no legal significance. The Bill of Rights was intended for delegates and lawmakers and is written in a more precise, technical style.

The Bill of Rights was intended as a legal document while the Declaration carried no legal significance.

The Declaration of Independence did not carry any legal significance because it was a mere statement of facts and ideas about America. In this case, nobody could stop America from becoming a country and they needed no approval.

As far as the Bill of Rights, this is a legal document because it was passed by the members of Constitutional Convention who worked together to develop this set of rights. These rights would ensure protection against government tyranny.
