What was the Declaration of Independence and why was it written?

Ms. Sue come down it's not the end of the world I made a mistake ok I understand that people make mistakes you know.

The Declaration of Independence was written to explain why the colonists had a right to revolt against and become independent from England.

The Declaration of Independence was a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which announced that the thirteen American colonies.

That's the first part of the question.

Right.

Thank You! :)

PS: I'll post my answer soon to see if I'm correct.

I know that I'm going to do the second part of the answer.

During the mid-to-late 1700s, the British Parliament passed a number of laws that severely limited the freedoms of English colonists in America.

am i correct for the second part of the question???

Am I correct????

Thank You!
