Abstract
The paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Specifically, the paper contains an analytical essay about the Declaration, fact or fiction, and discusses the historiographical debate attached to it. The paper examines how the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence predates the U.S. Declaration by over a year, if it is historically correct. The paper explores how most historians debunk the document as a hoax and a phony, but there are many who refuse to believe the document is not real. The paper discusses this debate that has lasted for over 200 years.
From the Paper
"In addition, King George had declared the colonies would not enjoy the protection of Great Britain if they needed it, and so, many colonists were more than willing to declare their independence. The Continental Congress was already meeting in Philadelphia, but they would not draft their own declaration until July 4, 1776. During the Mecklenburg meeting, three men, Dr. Ephraim Brevard, Mr. Kennon, and the Reverend Balch formed a committee to draw up resolutions. Dr. Brevard had drawn up some preliminary resolutions at a previous meeting, and read these to the assembly. These resolutions, with revisions, would become the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, according to historian William Henry Foote. It is not difficult to believe these resilient people would find the constraints of British rule too confining. It is not difficult to believe they would declare their independence from Great Britain when British rule became intolerable."

Abstract
This paper discusses the reasons why the Balfour Declaration of 1917 was so important for the political and social developments in Palestine at the time. It discusses the history of the Declaration and the British interest in the area. The paper then shows how the ambiguity of the Declaration marked the beginnings of the Arab-Israeli conflict that still exists today.
From the Paper
"The 1917 Balfour Declaration added to the tensions between the Palestinian Arabs and Jews worldwide, thus it can be seen as one of the beginnings of the Arab-Israeli war present in today's society. The ambiguity of the document led to much confusion between Jews as to what portion of Palestine would become theirs, which has been argued to have been part of the British government's aims in order to gain Jewish support for the war whilst being careful to keep peaceful relations with the Palestinian Arabs at the time. The Balfour Declaration was a document based on colonialism, nationalism and imperialism; the colonization of the Palestinian Arab's territory by the Jewish people according to Jewish ideals for a national homeland in Palestine, in order to secure the strategic Suez Canal and control over oil in the region."

The Vatican Declaration on Procured Abortion, 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses the Vatican's declaration on procured abortion which was issued on 18 November 1974. The paper discusses the three points of view that are addressed by the document in relation to abortion - the religious, the legal and the humanistic. It describes the history behind the declaration and examines whether the Church's position has changed over the past thirty years since the declaration was made.
From the Paper
"Beyond the document, the Church has also issued declarations in terms of other issues relating to sexual conduct, conception and marriage. According to the church, and also mentioned briefly in the Abortion Declaration, sexual conduct should occur only within marriage, and with sufficient responsibility in order to prevent unwanted pregnancy. The Vatican is very strongly against abortion merely because the child is an "inconvenience" as a result of premarital or irresponsible sexual conduct. In this, the Church concedes that modern society is not in great favor of big families, as the case was in the past. The Church therefore recommends that sex within marriage be conducted in such a way that the chances of unwanted pregnancy be minimized."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer examines the "Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen," written by the National Assembly in 1789. The writer discusses that the Declaration laid out a series of basic assumptions about the natural rights of man. Further, the writer contends that Baron de Montesquieu, writing 30 years earlier, would have agreed and disagreed with some of the basic premises of the Declaration.
From the Paper
"The 'Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen' written by the deputies of the National Assembly in 1789 lays out in seventeen articles a new vision of government, in which protection of the natural rights replaced the will of the king as the justification for authority. Thirty-one years prior Baron de Montesquieu published his work 'The Spirit of the Laws' in which he attempts to explain human laws and social institutions. In many respects Montesquieu's thought foreshadowed later political projects most notably the drafting of ... "

The French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, 2003.

Abstract
This paper explains that, unlike the United States' Bill of Rights, the French Declaration of Rights was written first, as a statement to the French people of the supreme guarantee of rights and as a symbol of liberty and egalitarianism, which was modeled after the beliefs of the American Constitution. The author points out that the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen ensured freedom to a society under absolute rule and outlined the basic fundamental principles enjoyed by a free society: No longer is the power invested in the king but in the people. The paper stresses that the National Assembly disjoined politics and religion because they considered the Catholic Church to be an enemy of liberty, a power that would try to revoke what the Declaration had just guaranteed.
From the Paper
"In declaring sovereignty for the French, the declaration was a loose interpretation of what America had scripted fifteen years earlier. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence in 1776, to break colonial allegiance with Great Britain. The document asserts the right to be free and independent states, where under a fair government there is a promise for man's entitlement to independence. Such beliefs have a direct correlation with what the French conveyed in their declaration. Jefferson wrote, "...all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" (Brophy 190). This line is almost identical to the one found in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen."

The U.S. Declaration of Independence, 2006.

Abstract
This paper explains that Thomas Jefferson chose each word of the U.S. Declaration of Independence with care and committees revised it with prudence, giving the nation with a very carefully planned, meticulously executed statement, which is extremely effective in its brevity, clarity and logical progression. The author points out that the very first word, "when", implies that the statement to follow is inevitable; the framers of this declaration could have used the word "if" but this (1) would diminish the drive of the sentence by making the later "dissolving" of political bands uncertain and (2) would make the action of declaring independence an option rather than a duty. The paper relates that the second paragraph showcases the simple logical progression of Thomas Jefferson's brilliance and serves as the moral and philosophical grounds for separation and for the colonists duty to throw off an oppressive government. Several quotations.
From the Paper
""To assume" has a double meaning in its usage in the above paragraph. To assume can mean to presuppose something (here it is the separate and equal station that the colonies felt that they had a right to enjoy). Also, the word assume means to take responsibility upon one's self. It is a statement directed toward the colonies' rights to enjoy a separate and equal status, and their willingness, even eagerness to take on whatever responsibility that may entail. If the Declaration of Independence is to be viewed from the vantage that it was written, then it would be appropriate to assume that the Nature's God referred to in this passage is, in fact, the deist God. The very fact that the word Nature comes before Nature's God suggests the subordinate role of God in the everyday world."

Abstract
This paper points out that the idea of democracy in the the Declaration of Independence wasn?t new; ancient Greece had been ruled by a modified form of democracy that gave the right to vote to the upper echelons of male citizens. The paper explains that the ideas upon which the Declaration of Independence began with discoveries in science that revealed that our physical world was governed by predictable rules, by cause and effect. The author believes that John Locke had the most profound effect on the thinking of the men who would eventually shape the Constitution of the United States.
From the Paper
"In reports of the events leading up to the American Revolution, the King of England is often depicted as a dictator who pronounced law as he saw fit based on his absolute power. However, the notion of a monarch with absolute power was not the standard for most of European history. The agreement signed after the Norman victory in 1066 required that the King share some of his power with representatives from the nobility. The idea that kings ruled by divine right was put forth by Jean Bodin in 1576 and embraced by James I of England. Oliver Cromwell embraced the idea and dissolved the Parliament, which although not a true democracy, provided some checks and balances for the ruler."

Abstract
This paper argues that the document "The Declaration of Man and Citizen" accurately represents Rousseau concept of the social contract and that it had a foremost influence on the intellectual development of the French Revolution. The paper concludes that Rousseau would have agreed to most of the articles in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, as it ensures both liberty and equality among men, two of the most fundamental concept in Rousseau's political philosophy.
From the Paper
"In his masterpiece "The Social Contract" Rousseau proposes solutions of the problems he diagnosed in his "Origins of Civil Society" and ?Discourse on Inequality". With the famous phrase "man is born free, but he is everyone in chains," Rousseau states that the modern nations in which royal entities repress the freedom of the ordinary people are in actuality suppressing their natural rights and thus forsake their civil rights. According to Rousseau the only solution to the problems is to form a social contract, which is agreed upon by all the members of the society, whether rich or poor."

Abstract
The paper relates that the US Declaration of Independence can be considered the first statement of the values and legal structure for the new nation. The paper discusses the ideas the document is based on and the events that led up to the actual writing of the Declaration.
From the Paper
"The Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Second Continental Congress in 1776 and can be considered the first statement of the values and legal structure for the new nation. The first draft was written by Thomas Jefferson, after which ideas were incorporated from John Adams and Benjamin Franklin. The document was adopted on July 4 to usher in a new political age. The document was written at the request of the Second Continental Congress and expressed several political ideas than current in the colonies. These ideas had been expressed by others in a different form, but they were now brought together by Jefferson in a final statement of independence from England. Garry Wills in the title of his book Inventing America characterizes the nature of this process, a process of invention that helped produce the mechanism of the new government."

John Locke and the American Declaration of Independence, 2007.
This paper demonstrates John Locke's influence on the Declaration of Independence.

Abstract
The paper analyzes the importance of John Locke's philosophy on the American Declaration of Independence of 1776. The paper examines various segments of Locke's "The Second Treatise of Civil Government" and shows how the textual language within the Declaration of Independence reflects his philosophy. The paper discusses the historical proof that Locke was not merely a secondary influence on the document but that he was a main philosophical component of the birth of the American republican ideology.
From the Paper
"The first philosophical basis of the Declaration of Independence was found upon Enlightenment philosophers, such as John Locke. In many ways, the development for a new phase of human freedom was being known through such terms as "natural rights", which were based on new perspectives about Nature and the way that human beings interrelated within a government prospectus. Although some may argue that Locke played a minor part in the many influences on the document, it is apparent that his philosophy is paramount to the anti-monarchical disposition of the Continental Congress. The dictates of new governing principle relied on the importance of human liberty for all, not simply the few that controlled government."
