The purpose of these lines is to state the intent of the authors to dissolve the political bands that connected them with another people and to assume a separate and equal station among the powers of the earth. The authors felt it necessary to declare the causes that motivated them to separate from the political entity they were previously connected to. This demonstrates the purpose behind the declaration and sets the stage for the rest of the document.
