1. Democratic Principles
The American Declaration of Independence, through its writing, gives several democratic principles and ideals, appropriately, the one of the first of these being that people have the right to abolish or alter government and establish a new one if the reasoning is readily justifiable. Perhaps the most famous of the principles listed in the declaration are those stating that all men are created equal, and the unalienable rights of man to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
2. List a handful of grievances
In the declaration, a list of grievances is included to support the justness of the Americans' actions. Among these are legislative, military and judiciary wrongs. These include: the revoking of charters, suspending of American legislatures, limiting trade with all parts of the world, taxation without consent, refusal of trial by jury, biasing of judges, occupation of a standing army in a time of peace, and the quartering of said forces.
3. Conclusion
In response to these wrongs, Americans had peacefully petitioned for redress to the British monarchy, without results, thus, separation was necessary and justified. For the good of the people, the united colonies establish themselves as free and independent states, exempt from authority of the British crown.
