As justification for severing ties with England, The Declaration presented a list of grievances against the King and declared the colonies to be sovereign states.We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.Ratified in 1788, The Constitution remains a shining example of patriotism and compromise.
