The Declaration of Independence had a success in bringing the colonies together to form what we know today as The United States of America. This document released the colonies from British control. It gave them the power to be free and dictate their own lives as a new nation. To have a chance to make something of themselves. The declaration broke ties with the king and had established a republic.
It gave us the power to vote for elected representatives who are responsible are for our rights as a people.
I do not think that this document was a failure. Ever since it was signed, America has grown not only as a nation but as a people. Although there are certain aspects such as war came into play later on after the document was signed.
The Phrase "This is America" has become a very common term. Just because we have independence doesn't always mean that we the people are "free". Atleast thats what some individuals might say.
