Why was the Declaration of Independence written?

The Declaration of Independence was written for several reasons. The main reason was to let the other countries of the world know that we had declared our independence from Great Britain and were no longer under British rule. This would let other countries know they could make agreements with us since we were an independent nation.

The Declaration of Independence was written for several reasons. The main reason was to let the other countries of the world know that we had declared our independence from Great Britain and were no longer under British rule. This would let other countries know they could make agreements with us since we were an independent nation.


The Declaration of Independence was also written to let people know why we were upset with the British government. The Declaration of Independence stated our belief that the government should protect the rights of the people. When the government doesn’t protect the people’s rights, then the people must replace the government. According to the Declaration of Independence, all people have certain rights, called inalienable rights, that can’t be taken away. These are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We believed the British government was no longer protecting our rights.


The Declaration of Independence then went on to list the complaints that we had against the King of England. This section was the longest part of the Declaration of Independence since we had many complaints against the King of England.


There were several reasons why the Declaration of Independence was written.

What are some external and internal conflicts that Montag has in Fahrenheit 451?

 Montag, the protagonist of Fahrenheit 451, faces both external and internal conflicts throughout the novel. Some examples of these conflicts are: External Conflicts: Conflict with the society: Montag lives in a society that prohibits books and critical thinking. He faces opposition from the government and the people who enforce this law. Montag struggles to come to terms with the fact that his society is based on censorship and control. Conflict with his wife: Montag's wife, Mildred, is completely absorbed in the shallow and meaningless entertainment provided by the government.

Conflict with the fire captain: Montag's superior, Captain Beatty, is the personification of the oppressive regime that Montag is fighting against. Montag's struggle against Beatty represents his external conflict with the government. Internal Conflicts: Conflict with his own beliefs: Montag, at the beginning of th...

Discuss movements that were inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and list one success for each group.

African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield. After the war, African-Americans properly felt it was time for them to achieve equality with white Americans. During the 1950's, the modern Civil Rights Movement was born and it had a number of successes (integration of the military and Brown vs. Board of Education as examples.)
