Structure

* During June and July of 1776, the main question facing the Second Continental Congress at Philadelphia revolved around independence: should the American colonies represented at this Congress declare their separation and freedom from the United Kingdom of Great Britain?

* During July and August 1776, the Declaration of Independence was printed and distributed throughout the newly proclaimed United States of America. * Americans recognized immediately that this document expressed widely held ideas about the proper purposes of government and the rights of individuals.

* The Declaration of Independence can be divided into four main parts.

* The first part is an introduction that states the purpose of the document, which was to explain why the American people were declaring independence from the government of Great Britain

* The second part is a theory of good government and individual rights generally accepted by Americans from the 1770s until today.

* The third part of the document is a list of grievances against King George III, who was singled out to represent the actions of the British government. * These grievances, therefore, justify separation from the King's bad government and establishment of a good government to replace it.

* The fourth and final part of the document is an unqualified assertion of sovereignty by the United States of America. * It proclaims the determination of Americans to defend and maintain their independence and rights.
