	3 PASSAGES THAT LINK TO THE DOI THAT  HAPPENED IN POST-1776
We, therefore, the Representatives of the  united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the  Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name,  and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies?
After America won its independency from Great Britain, many  major problems started occurring within the Thirteen Colonies. ?The most serious  problem was that the country under the Confederation lacked national unity. Each  state functioned independently by pursuing its own interests rather than those  of the nation as a whole. In addition, the Confederation didn?t recognize the  differences in population among the states. Each state, regardless of its  population, had only one vote in Congress.? Even though this country was called  the United States, the states were not very united even though they  stated in the Declaration of Independence that the United States does not need  Great Britain because they were strong by themselves, as a whole nation. This  passage from the Declaration of Independence says, ?We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of  America?" which basically means that they whole country, as one, is making this  decision of being independent from Great Britain. As you can see, when Thomas  Jefferson wrote the Declaration, he wrote the word "We" and not I. We represents  a whole, a unity amongst the nations which were was not seen after they won  their independence.
He has dissolved Representative Houses  repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the  people.
This passage, similar to many others in the Declaration of  Independence, talks about how limited the colonial rights were. The ?He? in this  passage, just like all the ones before, is referring to the King of Great  Britain. This passage is basically saying that the King invaded the rights of  all the colonial men and women. After the US gained its Independence, the  colonists made the Bill of Rights, which were the first 10 amendments, or  rights, that all citizens had. It does not matter what race you are, what your  social level is, or even if you?re an untouchable, everyone had the same rights  which could not be taken away by anyone. The US?s way of giving all citizens  their rights completely differs from the King of Great Britain?s way. In this  passage one can easily tell that the King decided who had rights and what rights  they had while in America everyone had a fix number of rights and stayed the  same for everyone. This was the outcome of writing this passage in the  Declaration of Independence.
The history of the present King of Great  Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct  object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
The SAG Assembly states  this quote as, "one of the most knowledgeable quotes which gives a true and  brief meaning of what the King did." This passage above is basically saying that  the "King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations?"  By reading this quote, one can easily tell that all the power of Great Britain  rested in the hands of the King. When the colonists, in particular Thomas  Jefferson, wrote this passage they did not blame anyone else for the injuries  but only the King. This is because the power in Great Britain was not divided  amongst different people but was all in the hands of the King. The colonists did  not agree with this idea and ended up sharing the power that the independent  United States of America had amongst the nation as a whole and each individual  state. The decision of sharing the power amongst the nation as whole with each  individual state was an outcome of the Declaration of Independence.
