EXPLANATION  

The declaration explained that the Thirteen Colonies fought against the British Empire. The Thirteen Colonies regarded themselves as thirteen sovereign and independent countries, no longer under British rules. Through this Declaration, they took strategic steps towards forming the United States of America.

Congress appointed The Five Committee: Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Robert Livingston. In their drafting process, The Five Committee enthused by the English Enlightenment thinker John Locke whose works on government put forward two ideas that would be very important to them:

- That all humans are born with “natural rights,” including the right to protect their lives, liberty, and property

- The government is a “social contract” amid the citizen and their leaders, which can be liquified if leaders fail to promote the people’s welfare
