Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 was important because it set the foundation for why and how the United States should be founded. It stated that people had the right to liberty, justice, and equality and even though it was a long way till this was achieved for Americans, the basing of the American state on these ideals made it possible to at least claim such rights.

The Declaration also served to declare that Britain was no longer the leader of the Colonies and that they were now separate and independent states from the Crown.
