The declaration of independence was written to whom?

Answer 1

While it's immediate target was George III and the British Parliament, the declaration had a secondary purpose. Jefferson stated that in writing the Declaration he "wished to place the facts before the world in terms so clear and direct as to command their assent."

Answer 2

Jefferson's original DoI was targeted at both the British public and the Crown. However, this was unacceptable to the others, and so the final version is aimed at King George and the British government alone, and not the British people.

Answer 3

It was written primarily to King George and parliament of England, and was bestowed before the world.

Answer 4

The Declaration of Independence was sent to Washington.
