Answer:

The specific purpose of the Declaration of Independence is to declare freedom from British rule and that they were their own country.

The purpose of the Preamble to the Constitution to limit the power of the central government.

The main purpose of the Bill of Rights is to protect freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and to request and call out when the government is wrong or right.

Hope this help!

The purpose of the Declaration of Independence is to declare freedom from British rule and that they were their own country.


The first purpose of the Preamble to the Constitution is to state explicitly in the first three words "We the People" that the constitution is the act for all people. The remainder of the preamble then discusses the objectives of the constitution and the government it establishes.


The main purpose of the Bill of Rights is to define the civil liberties of the American citizens.


I hope these answers help you. If you need anything explained in more depth then just let me know.
