    Default Interesting Article from The Histroy Channel Website

    Was the Declaration of Independence legal?
    Is the Declaration of Independence Illegal?

    Call me Mr. Obvious but the British Barristers were defending the No response and Amercan Lawyers defended the affirmative. The verdict of a tainted American "jury" was yes, it was legal. Bloody Colonials!

    My understanding is that the founders knew it was "illegal". That's why John Hancock made his signature so big - it was a "middle finger" to the king.
