The Declaration of Independence Democratic Roots What exactly does the Declaration of Independence say and mean?

Democratic Roots in the English Experience Magna Carta (1215) The King was subject to the rule of law Trial by jury guaranteed; Parliament levied taxes

English Bill of Rights (1689) Written during the Age of Absolutism Established limits on the powers of kings & queens The people were guaranteed basic rights: Right to petition the government Right to an impartial & speedy trial Protection against excessive fines & bails Protection from cruel & unusual punishment

Common Law Bicameral Legislature In England, the verdicts of judges were written down & became the basis for future legal decisions (precedents) Bicameral Legislature In the 14thc. Parliament split into 2 houses House of Lords (clergy & nobility) House of Commons (wealthy middle class)

Constitutional Development in Colonial America Based on the theory of limited government Each colony had a charter (a grant of privileges from the King) 3 basic types: Self-governing/Corporate Colonists choose governor/joint-stock company Proprietary Royal grant given to an owner of the land Royal King selects officials directly

The Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776 History of Us: A Congress of Great Men (2:43) History of Us: All Men Are Created Equal (2:43) History of Us: No Turning Back (2:43) The Declaration of Independence

The D of I: The Content (1776) The Preamble Introduction explaining that separation has become necessary to preserve natural law & natural rights The Next Paragraph: Theory of democratic government

The D of I: The Content (1776) The Next Paragraph: Theory of democratic government 4 Fundamental Principles: Doctrine of “unalienable rights” including “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” Contract theory of government Doctrine of popular sovereignty Right of revolution to “throw off such Government” that is guilty of “a long train of abuses & usurpations”

The D of I: The Content (1776) The List of Complaints: Attack on King George III lists the reasons for separation The entire D of I is directed toward the King and not Parliament because Americans claimed Parliament had no authority over them in the first place Ends with The Actual Declaration: Resulting in “Free and Independent States” It is also a formal declaration of war

The D of I: The Effects (1776) Immediate Effect: Revolution & establishment of a new nation Long-Term Effects: Committed America to carry out the highest political ideals of the age Jefferson: “An expression of the American mind.” The D of I’s message of “equality” has continued to serve as a model for other societies even though America has struggled with the concept itself (racism; sexism; etc.)
