The Preamble

The Declaration of Independence is a document that is divided into three parts. The first part, the Preamble, explains to the reader about the rights of all people (though this has been debated), states the reasons for the document, and includes the famous quote “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
