However not only did the Declaration of Independence bring about a global surge but also the United States constitution has also influenced the rest of the world in a new legal structure. David Armitage writes “As the first successful declaration of independence in history, it helped to inspire countless movements for independence, self-determination and revolution after 1776 and to this very day.” (Armitage, 2014) This very clearly demonstrates a simple explanation as to the impact of the declaration. The declaration itself was formed during a revolution and independence movement against the tyranny of the British. This tyranny therefore led to a mass influence in what Andrew Heywood describes as” Anti Colonial Nationalism” (Heywood,2007).This form of Nationalism worked perfectly alongside the declaration itself with a large portion of the original declaration listing “specific grievances to justify an armed insurrection”(Kramer,2011).As Kramer writes the declaration presented a large list of grievances and crimes which the British had committed on the American people during their reign. These grievances helped to unite the different colonies under one aim for Independence.

Other citizens believe that immigration contributes to crime, poverty, and overcrowding. The outlook and policies on the topic of immigration have progressively changed during the last fifty years and the government is trying to limit the number of illegal immigrants to the United States by tightening borders, while reshaping current immigration policies to help legal immigrants to be productive contributors to society. The challenges immigrants create are can be argued, but it is important to understand that they do serve a purpose. Immigration offers the United States unique benefits that will allow us to be a more productive, competitive, and successful nation in the 21st century.
