Sun, I'd probably side with Kodiak on that one. While the Declaration is an important historical document, it was never ratified by a single state nor is it a document for governance. In the same way, we wouldn't invoke the Articles of Confederation which was the first stab at a national identity, because it doesn't apply to this Republic, a literal reading of the constitution by a judge would not include the Declaration any more than the Magna Carta, or the Code of Hammurabi, or a dictionary when one tries to spell Hammurabi.
