Understanding the Declaration of Independence Map
The Declaration of Independence, adopted on July 4, 1776, is usually divided into a preamble that states universal principles, a list of natural rights including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, a long set of grievances against King George III, and a final resolution declaring the colonies free and independent states. A declaration of independence mind map places each of these parts on its own branch so the logic of the argument is visible at a glance.
- Preamble: the principles of equality and government by consent
- Natural rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
- Grievances: the charges listed against the Crown
- Resolution: the formal declaration of independence and its signers
