Category - Diplomacy

The legal function of the Declaration of Independence was to:
  1. Establish the rights of the Americans
  2. Sever all ties with England
  3. Detail the problems with King George III
  4. Make American attractive to other nations as a trade partner
  5. Define American citizenship
Explanation
Answer: B - The legal function of the Declaration of Independence was to sever all ties with England, thus making the United States an independent nation. Much of the document details problems with George III and British rule; however, that has little to do with the legal purpose of the document. It did not say anything about the kind of nation the United States would be once established; it merely established it.
