The purpose of the declaration of independence was

a)spark an international anti-monarchist revolution.
b)remove all british subjects from american shores.
c)outline the principles of a new kind of government.
d)bring about the end of the british empire.

The Declaration of Independence was written once the the Revolutionary War had already begun, so it wasn't 'sparking' anything, which rules out answer A. Think about it. Did the document end the British Empire? Or did it just lay out the principles of the new kind of government? I believe the answer is C. I could be wrong though. Hope that helped! 

Hope this helps
