What were the two main purposes of the Declaration of Independence?

The declaration of Independence was written to show a.new theory of.government and to assist the second continental Congress in obtaining aid from foreign countries

The purpose of the Declaration of Independence is to explain to foreign nations and King George III why the colonies had chosen to separate themselves from Great Britain and become independent.

Or you could say:

-Getting reluctant colonists to realize that loyalty to Britain was a lost cause

-Explaining the Congress' position on the purpose of human government

congress also has implied powers, which derive from the necessary and proper clause of the constitution and permit congress "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this constitution in the government of the united states.
