<span style="font-size: 180%; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Purpose: <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: Georgia, serif;">The purpose of The Declaration of Indepencdence was to officially <span style="color: #c50202; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 120%; color: #d70404; font-family: Georgia, serif;"> **<span style="color: #c50202; font-family: Georgia, serif;">announce their independence **  and start a <span style="font-size: 120%; color: #d70404; font-family: Georgia, serif;">**<span style="color: #c50202; font-family: Georgia, serif;">new form of government ** with the following pricipals: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." They wanted to clearly state the reasons for which they decided to separate from Great Britain."to disolve the political bands which have coneced them with another...that they should declare the causes that impel them to the seperation". Another reason for the separation was that the colonists had endured a long history of abuses and the colonists wanted to overthrow the tyrannical government that had been ruling over them.<span style="font-size: 180%; font-family: Georgia, serif;"> <span style="font-size: 110%; color: #295775; font-family: Georgia, serif;">**<span style="font-size: 110%; color: #295775; font-family: Georgia, serif;">-Declare their indepedence from Great Britain -Form a new government <span style="font-size: 110%; color: #295775; font-family: Georgia, serif;">-Inform people of the corruption of Britain. ** <span style="font-size: 110%; color: #295775; font-family: Georgia, serif;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> <span style="font-size: 180%; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Speaker: <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: Georgia, serif;">The Speakers were <span style="font-size: 120%; color: #b00707; font-family: Georgia, serif;">**The Second Cotinental Congress** because they gathere all their ideas to creatathe declaration. However, they were also speakingon behalf of all the <span style="font-size: 120%; color: #b50d0d; font-family: Georgia, serif;">**colonists**. <span style="font-size: 180%; font-family: Georgia, serif;"> Tone: <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: Georgia, serif;">The tone of the declaration of independence is <span style="font-size: 120%; color: #ed1d1d; font-family: Georgia, serif;">**<span style="color: #c50202; font-family: Georgia, serif;">authoritative yet <span style="color: #c50202; font-family: Georgia, serif;">victimized **. The authoritive tone used in the Declaration, served to convince parliament and the colonists that breaking away from Great Britain was not a mistake but the one of the smartest decisns made for the progress of th people and their country. "We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America... and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved..." The tone also gives the reader a sense that the colonists felt victimized by the actionsof King Goerge III. "Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government."
