The Declaration of Independence is Just a piece of paper. On it were written words—beautiful words, hot words, words with bite. At first only two people signed it; later 53 members of that august gathering affixed their signatures. Even later four more signed.

But, it’s Just a piece of paper. Actually, the paper on which it was written became so fragile that in 1894, it was permanently sealed in a steel case to keep it from light and air.

That piece of paper launched a revolution which produced a national spirit that guve reality to hopes and dreams for freedom.
