When it becomes necessary for a country to be separated from another, they should give their reasons why. The reasons being all men are equal and those men have rights, those rights being life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness. The government gets their power from the people, and if the government makes wrong decisions the people can change or get rid of the government. Even though people are allowed to change a government if bad, if people change the government it can only be done for the better. And if the government is bad it is the people's duty to change and replace it. King George has done some bad things to the colonies, and these are some of them. He taxed the colonists without representation. He kept many troops in the colonies without our opinion. He also brought on the quartering act. Then He cut off trades from colonies to all parts of the world. He also wouldn't let the government pass laws that would help the colonies. And he sometimes sent us over seas to be trilled for crimes that we did not commit. And that is only a short list of his mistakes. In the times of hardships in the colonies we have asked time and time again for free government of a change in it, but every time we have been met with more and more hardships. We tried to remind them the reason we came to the new world, but they ignored it. Those of us that are gathered here are saying that we are and want to be free! We pledge to work together to make sure this happens!
Well, first, there is never any one summary.
If you need a summary as an example becaues you're going to write your own, here's mine:
The declaration opens with a preamble describing the document's necessity in explaining why the colonies have overthrown their ruler and chosen to take their place as a separate nation in the world.
All men are created equal and there are certain unalienable rights that governments should never violate. These rights include the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. When a government fails to protect those rights, it is not only the right, but also the duty of the people to overthrow that government. In its place, the people should establish a government that is designed to protect those rights. Governments are rarely overthrown, and should not be overthrown for trivial reasons. In this case, a long history of abuses has led the colonists to overthrow a tyrannical government.
The King of Great Britain, George III, is guilty of 27 specific abuses. The King interfered with the colonists' right to self-government and for a fair judicial system. Acting with Parliament, the King also instituted legislation that affected the colonies without their consent. This legislation levied taxes on the colonists. It also required them to quarter British soldiers, removed their right to trial by jury, and prevented them from trading freely. Additionally, the King and Parliament are guilty of outright destruction of American life and property by their refusal to protect the colonies' borders, their confiscation of American ships at sea, and their intent to hire foreign mercenaries to fight against the colonists.
The colonial governments tried to reach a peaceful reconciliation of these differences with Great Britain, but were continually ignored. Colonists who appealed to British citizens were similarly ignored, despite their shared common heritage and their just cause. After many peaceful attempts, the colonists have no choice but to declare independence from Great Britain.
The new nation will be called the United States of America and will have no further connections with Great Britain. The new government will reserve the right to levy war, make peace, make alliances with foreign nations, conduct trade, and do anything else that nations do.
Many people say there are 4, 5, or 6 parts of the Declaration. It doesn't really matter though. I would say there are six.
1. Preamble
2. Beliefs
3. List of Grievances
4. Resolution
5. Independence
6. The Delegate's Signatures
It was written in 1775 and adopted July 4, 1776. It was mostly written by Thomas Jefferson. Other delegates helped edit it. Jefferson was chosen because he was an excellent writer. If you look up what the Declaration of Independence actually was, like if you search the actual letter written, you can just summarize every little paragraph.
I hope this helps a little bit. :-)

Go to Sparknotes.com and type in The declaration of Independence and click on the summary and it describes it in a totally non-boring way.
The American Declaration of Independence states a lot more than three things. It's essentially the summary to Britain as to why the colonies wanted their independence and how they thought the country should be run.
