Maybe you can cite the court cases or actions based on the "legal authority" of the Declaration.
it comes within the framework of the Constitution. we the people created a government with few and limited prescribed powers, based upon what we the people decided independence grants us. it's all about context. you act as if the framers fought a war for freedom and then created our jailers with the constitution.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
