What made The Declaration of Independence Successful and Failure

  The Declaration of Independence had a big impact on America. It is a very important document and still has an effect on the way the government makes certain decisions now. However it did have its downfalls. 
  The Declaration of Independence symbolizes the current law in America. It shows that America can be civilized. This is the good part of the document, however it caused some controversy. Too many states were used to their laws and ruling their own land and this document came in and changed it all out of no where. This is a downfall because it made America split up and want to rebel against the law. Because The Deceleration of Independence has such a big impact on America 'til this, it is somehow still a success.
