Detailed explanation-1: -The Declaration of Independence was designed for multiple audiences: the King, the colonists, and the world. It was also designed to multitask. Its goals were to rally the troops, win foreign allies, and to announce the creation of a new country.
Detailed explanation-2: -The audience for the Declaration of Independence was the international community. The colonists needed help to win a war against the British because they were a big imperialistic power with a big army. They hoped to get “sympathy and help from the international community” specifically France.
Detailed explanation-3: -Many delegates wanted to defer a decision on independence or avoid it outright. Despite this disagreement, Congress did nominate a drafting committee-the Committee of Five (John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston, and Roger Sherman)-to compose a declaration of independence.
