Propaganda of the Declaration

I choose to write about the constitution and the propaganda of the declaration. In 1787 a group of men we referred to as the framers met in Philadelphia to discuss how the countries were run. This convention was held in Independence Hall during the hottest summer behind closed doors. From May to September 1787 a lot of arguing went on discussing what the constitution should actually consist of. Since the people felt that we had a weak government, they wanted to come up with a new way to run our country. The men known as the framers came from all over the country made up of the 13 states. Each state had a different idea of what the new government should be. Through the arguing, the men were going to have to come up with a compromised plan because that would be the only way to make all the states happy. The U.S. Constitution was known as the "Spirit of Compromise". They finally came up with a plan known as the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence was a legal document written by Thomas Jefferson. This document was originally proposed by Richard Henry Lee. Richard Henry Lee proposed this document to declare America's Independence from England. Richard Henry Lee proposed this by saying" These colonies are of a right, ought to be free and Independent States". But on June 10, 1776 Congress postponed action of Lee's proposal. Congress wanted to create a committee to then write the Declaration of Independence, but based it on Richard Lee's proposal. A five member committee was made to write the document. The five men chosen to create this document were John Adams from Massachusetts, Thomas Jefferson from Virginia, Ben Franklin from Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman from Connecticut, and Robert Livingston from New York. Due to Thomas Jefferson's writing ability, the fact that he was from Virginia and that he was well known, Thomas Jefferson was the primary author of the Declaration. Since Thomas Jefferson was a lawyer, he wrote the declaration as a legal document which read as an incitement towards King George the 3rd. The Declaration of Independence has three main parts to it. First is the introduction, the second is the body and the last part is the conclusion. Thomas Jefferson had written the introduction of the constitution based on John Lock's theories which came off as a political philosophical theory. John Lock's ideas were based life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The idea behind this was to gain as many supporters as they could, so that when the government was getting out of control or becoming destructive to these rights, the people had the right to stop it and change the government. This document gives the people the right to abolish the old government and create a new government. After the introduction came the body which started the incitement toward King George the 3rd. This is where the blame toward King George the 3rd started. King George the 3rd was blamed for
