Declaration Of Independence.

Americans, and people in general, might not find United State’s history
compelling. However, between the two topics seen during class I think Americans would
find more compelling the first sentence of paragraph 3 in the declaration of
independence.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident; that they are endowed by their creator
with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness; that to secure these rights, government are instituted among men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the government; that whenever any form of
government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to
abolish it, and to institute new government…” This is the sentence that I believe is more
compelling; the reason is that in the past they thought that everyone was created with
certain rights for them and even if these rights were for everyone some could be
violated. Unlike the other statement which is just amendments of the Bill of right.
If the government was destructive to these rights the citizens had the right to
protest and try to alter this government in order to ensure their safety and happiness.
This makes people feel safe in their government. Furthermore, thanks to this document
the united states was able to make their own decisions independent from other
governments and be free. Some of those governments made The United states’
convivence less peaceful. Because of rights that weren’t respected, etc.
This is a really interesting thing to review after many years of independence,
that’s why we see it in US history classes and different books. Thanks to this people
was able to be free and do what they wanted without being afraid to do it; to take their
own decisions as a group and government. Now after reviewing all this we realize why
all this points would make this sentence of the reading more compelling for Americans
Today.
