The statement of purpose of the Declaration of Independence is called the?
Llana [10]

The correct answer is the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence.

The Preamble is the Executive overview of the Declaration and states the general philosophy behind the separation.

Written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, it states:

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

2.1 We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

2.2 That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

2.3 Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

2.4 But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

2.5 Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

What was the 'progressive era conservation movement', and how did it take shape in the hetch-hetchy debate. be able to explain t
natka813 [3]
The Progressive Era Conservation Movement was a social movement taking place during the late 19th and 20th century that saw a resurgence in environmental conservation following the drastic exploitation of natural resources in the United States. Supporters of this movement included President Theodore Roosevelt who created state entities to preserve natural resources and lands. 

The Hetch-Hetchy debate discussed the incorporation of water resources into San Fransisco's city planning, specifically the damming of an important river in Yosemite in order to grow the new city or the conservation of wild lands. Congress debated the issue, pitting conservationists and preservationists against one another, eventually, conservationists were victorious seeing a dam built in the Hetch Hetchy Valley.
