Detailed explanation-1: -The final draft of the Declaration of Independence contains a preamble, a list of grievances, a formal declaration of independence, and signatures.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The Declaration was designed to justify breaking away from a government; the Constitution and Bill of Rights were designed to establish a government. The Declaration stands on its own-it has never been amended-while the Constitution has been amended 27 times. (The first ten amendments are called the Bill of Rights.)
Detailed explanation-4: -The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a historic document which outlined the rights and freedoms everyone is entitled to. It was the first international agreement on the basic principles of human rights. It laid the foundation for the human rights protections that we have in the UK today.
