Architect1776 Loc: In my mind

It is the founding document as shown below.
Your Jefferson comment is a typical lib red herring/deflection irrelevant to the thread because you desperately need to change the subject as you have lost and don't know what to do.
Prior to the declaration we were colonists subject to and of the Crown. As the document below shows it is a severance of that status and a declaration that they are a nation called the "United States of America". Try to study US history for once and not listen to Maddow and the DNC for your information.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation......
......We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, 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; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Correct, the Constitution is the law and the Declaration of independence has no legal authority.

Architect1776 Loc: In my mind

AND????
The Declaration is THE FOUNDING DOCUMENT!!!!!!!
You forgot that part as a lib. Half t***h and ignore the whole part of the discussion.
Admit the Declaration IS THE FOUNDING DOCUMENT of our Nation as I have so eloquently pointed out to you uneducated deniers.

Texcaster Loc: Queensland

You're one eloquent Architect1776 all right, probably the most posh talking architect we've ever had here.

The creation of the United States of America was an evolving progression of steps. I do not think there is any single "founding" document.

The Declaration of Independence announced thirteen independent sovereign states, not a single unified nation. While the script contains the words "united States of America," (note the lower case "united) that phrasing spoke to the unity of their declaration, not to a unified government or single sovereign nation.

The title "United States of America" was not declared for another six months, in a September 9, 1776 declaration by the Continental Congress.

From the Declaration of Independence:

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, 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; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."


Perhaps our noted patriot and scholar can explain how this statement, or any other part of the Declaration founds a single unified nation...

Please try!

This might be a key phrase: "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; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.



Eloquence is optional archie, but stamping your little feet and making a declaration without explanation will convince naught but a very, very few.

Architect1776 Loc: In my mind

It is the founding document you are too stupid or stubborn to admit I am 100% right.

mwalsh Loc: Houston

So convincing archie...


Do you stamp your little feet in a rythm or just random falls?


You could try to present a basis or debate to support your thesis...or you can keep making empty declaratories...

I expected nothing but from you.



Even the quote you provided belies your thesis.

Well one thing for sure Hildabeast does bark like dog and millions of people saw that on T.V.

You just can't admit that you are wrong and clueless.

You know.. if these lefties read the founding documents, US History, studied world and cultural geography & world history, KKK, dem
Party roots in f*****m, N**i party, socialism... alinsky, they’d know the t***h and would not bother name calling, violent acts, shooting innocent people, dodging, changing subject and squirming like little school boys needing to pee.

And the dem party would fade into the mist of the past where it’s evil belongs.

Not much different from the A******n issue is it, when does life begin, is it when the egg is fertilized or 9 months later.

Angmo

There’s an obvious answer. The only answer too. But the indoctrinated and misinformed folks won’t listen.

Architect1776 Loc: In my mind

So true.

Bazbo Loc: Lisboa, Portugal

Sounds like a description of you Arch.

You prattle on about how liberals do not understand the Constitution while you display deep ignorance and right wing spin. You stamping your feet and insisting how everyone is wrong except for you is a childish display of ill temper. What's next? Going to hold your breath until your face turns blue?

In spite of your hyper-inflated view of your own awesome opinions, you are no Constitutional scholar, Archie. You need a time-out.

Angmo

Why do lefties attack others instead of just learning about something they don’t understand. Leftie teachers do not want you to know the t***h. Ever ask them why?

Lefties don’t even care to look into history and figure out what’s going on with this Russia/Ukraine issue and how it came about. They prefer ignorance.

*hint: l*****ts (like the Dems here) in Germany, historic Crimea region, geography, culture & customs. Ukraine and Russia history. Simple, but way more than the leftie snowflakes can handle.

You see, it’s a man’s world out there. Not good for beta boys and girlie men.
