The Monroe Doctrine of 1823 remains to have significant influence across every nation. Sovereigns upon this international stage have adopted this political order as part of their foreign policy. Initially established by President James Monroe, it has become a longstanding presence within the United States foreign policy over the years. The original purpose of the Monroe Doctrine was to secure the “continents” of the United States from outside threats; more importantly, from any further advancement of the European nation.

In the 1700s, Europeans saw numerous opportunities in the New World. They envisioned the colonization as a chance for them to live a free and prosperous life, but, in reality, the American colonists faced many setbacks. The tension between Great Britain and the New England colonies led to American Revolution. In Transcript of Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson acknowledged how the act of force was a rational option in order to obtain liberty from Great Britain; however, in The Rise and Fall of the Newburgh Conspiracy, George Marshall depicted how there is a more reasonable alternative to resolving problems within the new independent country. In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson explained how governments should not be overthrown for petty reasons, but he believed the King of Great Britain had taken the situation too far.
Although men were not created equally, the forefathers created different historical documents, which have a very serious theme and tone. These important documents affected the past in many good ways. “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”- the Declaration of Independence (by Thomas Jefferson).

The Declaration Of Independence isn’t just another piece of paper (or in this case parchment).
Declaration in My Eyes How do I see the Declaration of Independence in my own eyes? This is a very important document which was written primarily by Thomas Jefferson in 1776. The Declaration was written to declare the thirteen American Colonies independent from Britain’s rule. This document is a very important part of America’s history and how we came to be the United States of America instead of being under the British Empire’s rule. The purpose of my essay is to explain and translate out the Declaration of Independence in my own words.
The modified version of the Declaration was approved on July 4, 1776. The Declaration of Independence is important because it inspired many revolutionary efforts throughout the world and contributed to Americans' understanding of their values as a new nation. The Declaration of Independence helped the formation of governments in the United States. It declared our commitment to freedom and guaranteed our basic rights. It also helped shaped the amendments of the constitution.
The Declaration of Independence was written in 1776 by some of the greatest minds of the 18th century. The Declaration of Independence is applicable today because it is a timeless declaration of rights of citizens that continues to stand the test of time in democratic societies. The Declaration of Independence was based upon timeless documents and proven ideals that came before it. Perhaps, the most prominent document is the Magna Carta, which provided restrictions upon the English government in 1215, by making the King abide by his laws and rights for the citizens of the country. The Magna Carta declared that people’s rights are unable to be taken away by any government, because their rights are given to them by a higher power; God.
