There were several reasons why the Declaration of Independence was written. One reason was to inform the world that the colonists were declaring their independence from Great Britain, and they were now no longer connected to the British government. A second reason was to tell the world the specific reasons why the colonists were declaring their independence. They wanted the world to know what British government and the King of England had done to lead them to declare independence.
There were other reasons for writing the Declaration of Independence. The colonists wanted to explain their beliefs about what rights people should have. The Declaration of Independence explained that all people have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The colonists also wanted to explain that the job of the government is to protect the rights of the people. They wanted to let the world know that when a government does not protect the rights of the people, the people must replace the government. Since the colonists felt the British government was no longer protecting their rights, they had to declare their independence from Great Britain.
