The DoI has no legal force. It was written before our system of law was even founded in the Constitution.

Excuse me - it is THE document that founded this country - NOT the Constitution. No it isn't. The Constitution defines HOW the nation that was founded in the Declaration of Independance will operate. Nice try to twist it - but withou the DoI - the Constitution cannot exist - because the United States of America cannot exist.

You've been doing the twist for this entire thread. The DoI attempts to justify the break with Great Britain by saying we have rights extending from the creator. It continues with a long whine about George III, and ends by stating that the colonies are now a separate country. Wow, what a founding.

What will this new country be like? Will it be a democracy, a republic, or a monarchy? How about a theocracy?

Will there be nobility? Will there be slavery? Will there be guaranteed freedoms? What will they be? What will life be like in this new country?

It's the Constitution that decided these questions. It didn't just organize government; it provided the foundation for the lives of the country's citizens.

The Declaration of Independence did none of that. That's why we aren't founded on the DoI, we're founded on the Constitution. If the drafters of the Constitution had wanted to found our country in belief, they could have easily done so. But they didn't.
