How is the declaration of independence was like a break up letter?

Answer 1

It was similar to a breakup letter, because it:

1) Stated that she (the colonies) was breaking up with him (Britain) and said that she was going to say why.

2) It stated what a "perfect relationship" was supposed to be like.

3) Said what he did wrong

4) Stated what "breaking up" meant (i.e. Don't talk to me anymore. I don't want to see you.)

Answer 2

The Declaration of Independence is like a breakup letter because it formally announces the end of a relationship, in this case, the colonies' relationship with Great Britain. It lists grievances and reasons for the breakup, much like a person would list reasons for ending a relationship. It also sets out a new path for the future, just like a breakup letter may express hope for a new beginning.
