Sovereignty is the utmost power that a state, a country, or a nation will always strive and long for. This is especially true to a group of people bestowed with innate gifts of freedom and democracy. Constricting these people’s necks to conceal and to repress the spirit of freedom among them will always lead these suppressors to failure—because no matter what happens, the people’s hearts will always prevail. No barriers can scare the people to stop dreaming about the future independent and sovereign nation that they long for not only for themselves but for their future lineage as well.
This declaration was the formal proclamation of the independence of the thirteen states of the United States of America from the allegiance and supremacy of the British colonies over them. This manifesto thoroughly discusses the laws of nature which illustrate how each person is created equal and are bestowed with their fair share of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness (Armitage 157). It is also emphasized in the manifesto how each nation has equal abilities to acquire political independence and sovereignty.
Also, it gives importance to the people being governed as the sole foundation of the government by which all its goals must all be directed to the purposes set forth by the people. In addition, if the government starts to deviate from its purposes, it has been said that the people have the right and the duty to abolish and replace it with a new government that will serve for the people’s good. These were the messages that the states would like to declare to all of the people to open their minds to the on-going assaults and mishaps that King George’s and the British colonies’ tyranny had caused them.
Various accounts of charges and proofs of tyranny against King George were listed to demonstrate that the violation of the rights of the colony made him incompetent to be a ruler of a free people. Many times, the people pleaded for justice from the British government, yet they remained deaf and blind from their needs. From the knowledge divulged by the declaration, the thirteen states denounced their ultimatum, and this led to the complete separation from the British Colony.
Thus, the supreme acquisition of the independence and sovereignty that the nation had dreamed for so long is now turning into reality. This eventful proclamation of independence of the various states from the British Colony is the ultimate start of a new hope and a better life for all of the people of the United States of America that is totally free from the tyrannical form of leadership.
