The Declaration of Independence is the document by which the colonies broke away from being governed by England. The Declaration recognizes that "All men are created equal" and that all people have rights endowed upon them by their creator. These righte being; Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Other rights enjoyed by Americans are enumerated in the US Constitution, not the Declaration of Independence. But without the Declaration, the Constitution would not be possible.

The United States declared themselves to be a soverign nation and informed the British that they would not accept their rules, their King or their taxation any further. Therefore they immediately benefitted by not paying taxes anymore and kept this money for themselves (income taxes would only come many years later as a result of WWI). They ultimately benefitted because after a war (which was very one way against America until later on in it, and was ultimately lost by the British because of a lack of will, not a lack of power [Britain had the largest armed forces and navy in the world at that time and was much stronger than America (a situation much different from today)]) they won and became an independent nation. They further benefitted because they became a true republican democracy with one person one vote where "all men are created equal"). This latter aspect of the Declaration led to the complete aboloition of the nobility and aristocracy and basically (legally) created a single class of people; citizens. Even the president is just a normal common person like everyone else.
