Summarize the declaration of independence as if you are a 5th grader who hardly knows how to read.
Okay, so the Declaration of Independence is a really important paper that talks about how America became its own country a long time ago. The people who wrote it were upset with a king from another country who was being mean to them and not listening to what they wanted. So they wrote this paper to say that they were not going to listen to him anymore, and that they were going to make their own rules and be their own country. They said that everyone should be treated equally and have certain rights, like the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And that's why the Declaration of Independence is so important!
