John Taylor rr3

The Declaration of Independence is one of if not the most important document in our country's history. Thomas Jefferson's point was that of laying out the reasons for us to seperate ourselves from Great Britain. Each reason that was layed was important and meaningful. I believe the most meaningful reason for that of "refusing the assent to laws, the most wholesome and necesary or the public good." In almost all of the sentences the beginning always starts with "He" and "For". Jefferson obviously did this on purpose so he could make the point known that the United Colonies wanted independence. I can't think of a counter argument when the argument itself is extremly solid and needed to be done. The three words that our country was based on was "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Everyone is this country strives to gain those three words. For example, even on a recent Cadillac commerical they ending slogan was "life,liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." This shows how even in car commericials those three words are used in a way to get people to buy their cars. The Declaration is an inspirational document that allowed our country to be who we are today.
