The structure of the Declaration of Independence ensures that the argument is presented effectively by first presenting overarching principles and ideals in the opening paragraphs, which are then supported by specific grievances and evidence in the subsequent paragraphs. This allows the reader to understand the reasoning behind the call for independence and see how the actions of the British government violated these principles. This progression of general to specific helps to make the argument more coherent and persuasive.
