Answer
- B It says America is free from British control
- D It says all people are created equal
Explanation
The Declaration of 1776 breaks the colonies away from Great Britain, states that all people are created equal, and identifies inherent rights and individual freedoms – USCIS accepts all four ideas. The three branches are set out only by the Constitution of 1787. The war did not end until 1783 with the Treaty of Paris.
