UTD Declaration of Independence Discussion

submit an analysis of the Declaration of Independence. You should consider the following questions:

• What are the promises of the Declaration?
• Do you believe we have lived up to the promise of the Declaration of Independence? Give a specific example. Please base your response on the United States today.

This assignment should be at least 450-650 words and contain your reactions or questions about some specific issue within the historical narrative which you find compelling. For full credit, your paper must not simply sum up the reading or repeat points made there. Rather, I am looking for you to create your own interpretation, explain the emotional content of the piece, or discuss some original insight. Include citations as needed.
