The Declaration of Independence did which of the following?

The Declaration’s main purpose is to announce that the colonies are separating from Britain and to justify that separation with Enlightenment ideas about natural rights and government by consent. It argues that people have unalienable rights, government gets its authority from the governed, and when a government fails to protect those rights, the people have the right to alter or abolish it. This combination—a formal declaration of independence paired with a philosophical justification for revolution—is what the document is doing. It is not about extending colonial governance, reaffirming British authority, or creating the Articles of Confederation (a later framework for uniting the states).
