Literary Style in the Declaration

The Declaration of Independence is an interesting piece of work. There are many literary elements to it that contribute to its meaning and effectiveness for sure. Stephen E. Lucas' article from the National Archives website pointed out all of the techniques Jefferson, Locke, and the others used to make their point clear. It's crazy how words on a page can convey such a huge message. I only hope my writing could ever be that effective to affect such a large group of people and convince an entire country to do as I say!
