The final part of the Declaration of Independence is not the actual Declaration itself, but rather the signatures of the delegates who were present and agreed to its contents. The Declaration of Independence was a document drafted to explain the reasons for the American colonies' separation from British rule and to establish them as a self-governing nation.
False
The final part of the Declaration of Independence was not the actual Declaration itself. The Declaration of Independence is divided into three main parts: the Preamble, the List of Grievances, and the Conclusion. While all three parts work together to declare independence, the actual Declaration and intention to break away from British rule is stated in the first part, the Preamble.
To confirm this answer, you could read the Declaration of Independence and analyze its structure. The Preamble begins with the famous words, "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another..." This indicates the intention to break away from British rule and establish the colonies as a self-governing nation. Following the Preamble, the List of Grievances provides reasons for declaring independence, and finally, the Conclusion reaffirms the decision to break away.
