The purpose of the Declaration of Independence was to formally declare the thirteen American colonies as independent states, separate from the rule of Great Britain. It outlined the reasons for this separation and listed the grievances against King George III, asserting that all individuals have certain inherent rights that cannot be violated by a government. The document also served to rally support for the American Revolutionary War and to gain international recognition and support for the American cause.
