america is illegal

The Declaration of Independence was not only illegal, but actually treasonable. There is no legal principle then or now to allow a group of citizens to establish their own laws because they want to. What if Texas decided today it wanted to secede from the Union?

Lincoln made the case against secession and he was right. The Declaration of Independence itself, in the absence of any recognised legal basis, had to appeal to "natural law", an undefined concept, and to "self-evident truths", that is to say truths for which no evidence could be provided.

The grievances listed in the Declaration were too trivial to justify secession. The main one - no taxation without representation - was no more than a wish on the part of the colonists, to avoid paying for the expense of protecting them against the French during seven years of arduous war and conflict.

You're all squatters on british territory.

I am laughing so fucking hard right now.

because I can't resist

britain granted america complete soverignty and freedom in the Treaty of Paris in 1783
the declaration of independence was nothing but a symbolic gesture asserting our liberties as human beings and our desire for soverignty; it wasn't until Abraham Lincoln that it became such an important document. It's still basically bullshit compared to the Constitution

education has failed again. kuya, was this an american or a british person writing this
