Desire for freedom can be taken as the first and the most important reasons for the Declaration of Independence. They saw a light of freedom within this declaration and gave them a solution to the exploitation and injustice that they were experiencing due to the political as well as the social boundaries with Great Britain. There were various other reasons that made people revolt against the British and declare independence.
