The Declaration of Independence

The declaration of Independence was written on July fourth 1776. On this day every year we celebrate our freedom form Brittan but it really isn’t the day we were free it was just the day all the members of the continental convention signed the Declaration of independence.  This document was written by Thomas Jefferson and was signed by all the members in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. The beginning of the Declaration states that “all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator certain inalienable rights” (the Declaration of independence, Thomas Jefferson 1774). The framers certainly wanted to declare those rights which they felt they hadn’t had since they were colonist because of British rule and power. They had been mad at England for all the things that had been happening and all the acts they were passing that they had to state what they thought they should defiantly have as human beings if one day they were to be free to have their own country. Also they had been mad for the reason that they couldn’t be free to be their own people or even to just have representations so that they would at least understand why they were paying the taxes they were paying. These are the rights we have today as American citizens thanks to Thomas Jefferson and all the other men who signed this Declaration.
