The Declaration of Independence is divided into four parts: the Preamble, the Declaration of Natural Rights, the List of Grievances, and the Resolution of Independence. I believe that the most powerful section in the argument for independence is the Declaration of Natural Rights. This section starts with the following passage: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Clearly, it states the main rights that all men have and need to live in every society. Moreover, it expresses that these rights are unalienable, that they cannot be taken away. This is particularly important because it guarantees that all men are treated equally and that no government can exercise tyranny over them. This section contains the most important argument for independence because The King of Great Britain established an "absolute Tyranny over the states" that prevented people form exercising their natural rights before the Declaration of Independence.

The four parts are: preamble, declaration of natural rights, list of grievances and the resolution of independece. The list of grievances shows, in a very explicative way, all the unfair ways that the Britain government treated the US province, "establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies", as it says in the declaration.
