Question

What similarities and differences do you see between the US declaration of independence and the Confederate Declaration of Independence

Answer 1

The Declaration of Independence was written to justify breaking away from a government, but the Constitution and Bill of Rights were written to build one. The Declaration of Independence has never been changed, although the Constitution has been changed 27 times. While the Declaration of Independence declared the United States to be an independent nation, the Constitution established guidelines and standards for how the government should run and function. The Continental Congress amended the Declaration of Independence, which was written by Thomas Jefferson.
