Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence was the final document on which the 13 American colonies not only declared themselves independent from Britain, but also explained the justifying arguments for such a drastic measure. Among the first things that the Declaration states is that due to their God-given rights, and their human rights, people who are governed despotically, and whose needs are consistently not met, have the right to take actions to remove such a government, and constitute one that will do so. This particular piece of the document, signed on 4ht July 1776 at the Second Continental Congress thus explains certain events that were already taking place within the framework of the already begun American Revolution. Most importantly, by this point George Washington had already assumed control of the Continental Army called by Congress and was taking measures to ensure that America would be freed from Britain´s control.
