The reading in Enduring Vision has come to the point where the colonies are establishing their independence from Britain with the Declaration of Independence. This important document was created for the a certain reason and that was to be no longer in the control of Britain and be able to form their own government. They made this specific when they stated the following in the Declaration of Independence “The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.” They made sure that they stated why they no longer wanted to be in the control of Britain. They were able to get 56 signatures on this petition and send it to King George III. After they gained their Independence from Britain the colonies had to establish a government of their own and that was the start of the U.S Constitution. The U.S Constitution is still a very important document that we use and has created the country in which we live in today.
