Answer:

The historical significance of the Declaration of Independence is that it describes why the colonists wanted to be free from Britain and what led to their decision to fight against British rule.

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America is a document drafted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which proclaimed that the Thirteen Colonies - then at war with the Kingdom of Great Britain - had defined themselves as thirteen new sovereign and independent States and now they did not recognize British rule; instead they formed a new nation: the United States. John Adams was one of the politicians who undertook the independence process, approved on July 2 by the full Congress without opposition. A committee was responsible for drafting the formal statement, which was presented when Congress voted on it two days later.

The document justified the independence of the United States by enumerating the colonial claims against King George III and affirming certain natural and legal rights, including the right of revolution.

What is legislature?
Vesna [10]
Legislature is the introduction of new laws or changing of old ones through the process of voting. A parliament in a country usually presents a new law or how an old one should be changed and then they vote on it. This is the legislative process and the laws themselves are the legislature. Legislation can't be changed by any other group.
