Answer:On April 19, 1775, the Battles of Lexington and Concord initiated armed conflict between Great Britain and the 13 North American colonies (the nucleus of the future United States of America).
At that time few of the colonists consciously desired to separate from Britain. But as the American Revolution proceeded during 1775–76, Britain undertook to assert its sovereignty by means of large armed forces, making only a gesture toward conciliation.
Increasingly, the majority of Americans came to believe that they must secure their rights outside the British Empire.
The losses and restrictions that came from the war greatly widened the breach between the colonies and the mother country.
Moreover, it was necessary for the colonies to assert independence in order to secure as much French aid as possible.
Effects
The Declaration of Independence put forth the doctrines of natural rights and of government under social contract.
The document claimed that Parliament never truly possessed sovereignty over the colonies and that George III had persistently violated the agreement between himself as governor and the Americans as the governed.
When the Declaration was adopted, racing horsemen and the noise of cannon fire carried the news far and wide. General George Washington had the document read to the army, and its ringing sentences strengthened the morale of his troops.
The Declaration helped unify the colonies so that they all fought together instead of trying to make separate peace agreements with Britain.

Some of the phrases of the declaration have steadily exerted profound influence in the United States, especially the proclamation, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Although the meanings of these phrases, together with conclusions drawn from them, have been endlessly debated, the declaration has served to justify the extension of American political and social democracy.
The Declaration has also inspired revolutionary movements outside the United States.
The document remains a great historical landmark in that it contained the first formal assertion by a whole people of their right to a government of their own choice.
The Declaration of Independence, the founding document of the United States, was approved by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and announced the separation of 13 North American British colonies from Great Britain. It explained why the Congress on July 2 “unanimously” (by the votes of 12 colonies, with New York abstaining) had resolved that “these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be Free and Independent States.”
On August 2, 1776, roughly a month after the Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence, an “engrossed” version was signed at the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia by most of the congressional delegates (engrossing is rendering an official document in a large clear hand). Not all the delegates were present on August 2. Eventually, 56 of them signed the document. Two delegates, John Dickinson and Robert R. Livingston, never signed.
Since 1952 the original parchment document of the Declaration of Independence has resided in the National Archives exhibition hall in Washington, D.C., along with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Before then it had a number of homes and protectors, including the State Department and the Library of Congress. For a portion of World War II it was kept in the Bullion Depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
In the 1920s the Declaration of Independence was enclosed in a frame of gold-plated bronze doors and covered with double-paned plate glass with gelatin films between the plates to block harmful light rays. Today it is held in an upright case constructed of ballistically tested glass and plastic laminate. A $3 million camera and computerized system monitor the condition of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights.
Explanation:
Answer:
The Declaration of Independence has inspired many social and political changes both within and outside of the United States. One example of a social and political change within the United States that the Declaration of Independence helped to inspire is the abolition of slavery. The Declaration of Independence states that "all men are created equal" and have the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." This idea played a significant role in the movement to end slavery and establish equal rights for all citizens.
Another example of a social and political change outside of the United States that the Declaration of Independence helped to inspire is the global human rights movement. The principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence, such as the inherent worth and dignity of every person and the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, have been adopted and embraced by people around the world as fundamental human rights. As a result, the Declaration of Independence has played a key role in inspiring movements for social and political change in countries all over the globe.

[Im marking brainliest] in one or two paragraphs explain Does the U.S. need tougher gun laws? Include your thoughts on assault weapons bans, ghost guns and red flag laws?
Answer:
YES
We lose more than 36,000 Americans to gun violence every year in this country. That’s an average of 99 gun deaths a day. These tragedies cause shootings. No other democracy in the world experiences this level of gun violence. That’s because other free nations have tough gun laws to deal with this problem.
Explanation:
It’s estimated that Americans own more than 300 million guns. Guns certainly do not cause crime, but the fact that they are so easily available does make crimes more deadly. Simply put, when more people have guns, the odds go up that those guns will be used.

GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
"But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Answer:
The brave men who fought here before us, must not have fought in vain. We must remember and honor the sacrifices that they made for us. We must dedicate ourselves to give this nation, under God, a new birth of freedom. We must remember them.
