As to the question of whether the 13 colonies could have declared independence if they weren't unanimous, answers will vary. Most might state that independence would be difficult without the support of all thirteen colonies, but some might say independence without consensus was still possible. For instance, colonies that objected could be absorbed into Canada or find a way to peacefully co-exist with those that seceded.

Why did Jefferson choose to begin the declration with the words The unanimous declaration of the thirteen United states of America?

Jefferson began the Declaration of Independence with "The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America" to emphasize the collective unity and shared resolve of the colonies in seeking independence from British rule. This phrasing underscored the importance of solidarity among the states, presenting their decision as a unified front rather than the action of individual colonies. By asserting unanimity, Jefferson aimed to strengthen their legitimacy and demonstrate that the colonies were acting together in pursuit of freedom and self-governance.
