Lee’s Resolution for Independence
At the 2nd Continental Congress By Richard Henry Lee, a delegate from Virginia, at the behest of that
state’s legislature May of 1776
3 sections: Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to
be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.
That it is expedient forthwith to take the most effectual measures for forming foreign Alliances.
That a plan of confederation be prepared and transmitted to the respective Colonies for their consideration and approbation.

The Declaration of Independence
Drafted mainly by Jefferson, with minor edits from Committee of 5 (mostly Franklin and Adams)
Officially adopted by Continental Congress on morning of July 4th, but not engrossed and signed until August Lee Resolution for Independence adopted on July 2nd
The Declaration of Independence is made up of several distinct parts: the introduction; the preamble; the body, which can be divided into two sections; and a conclusion. Think of it as a “break up note”…

Parts of the DoI
Not everyone agrees on how many different, distinct “parts” there are, but we can break it down
Introduction BuN – Why you are writing the note “a decent respect to the opinions of mankind…”
Preamble BuN – What you believe in “We hold these truths to be self-evident…”
List of Grievances BuN – What you did to me “To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.”
Statement of Separation BuN – We are done “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free
and independent states…”

SECTION 2 : DECLARATION OF NATURAL RIGHTS
“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. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it
is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their
safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not
be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are
sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide
new guards for their future security. –

A Return to the Articles?
It is widely-accepted that because of its weaknesses, the Articles of Confederation failed, and led to the adoption of a constitution which created a stronger central government… But some today contend that a return to this document
might solve some of our current problems…

Mindset of the Framers

“A Reform Caucus In Action”
“The Constitution, then, was not an apotheosis of ‘constitutionalism’, a triumph of architectonic genius; it was a patch-work sewn together under the pressure of both time and events by a group of extremely talented democratic politicians.”
“Yet, while the shades of Locke and Montesquieu may have been hovering in the background…the careful observer of the day-to-day work of the convention finds no overarching principles. The ‘separation of powers’ to him seems to be a by-product of suspicion, and ‘federalism’ he views as a [last resort], as the farthest point the delegates thought they could go in the destruction of state power without themselves inviting [rejection].
