No
There are no laws in the Declaration of Independence. It is not a document which establishes law; it is an announcement to the world at large that the thirteen colonies, now called states, consider themselves free and independent of the rule of Great Britain.

The document that was written before the Constitution was the Articles of Confederation.
at least nine states out of the thirteen ratified the document.
The Articles of Confederation served as America's first 'constitution.' The document was ratified by all thirteen states by 1781, but it was replaced in 1789.
The requirement for nine states to approve the U.S. Constitution was used only once during its ratification process in 1787-1788. After the Constitution was drafted in Philadelphia, it needed to be ratified by nine of the thirteen states to take effect. Once the necessary nine states ratified it, the Constitution officially became the governing document of the United States on March 4, 1789. Since then, the nine-state approval threshold has not been used again for any amendments or changes to the Constitution.
There were thirteen colonies at the time. They wrote that Nine out of Thirteen had to agree to the constitution for it to go into effect.
The Declaration Of Independence because at the time America was not a country it was thirteen colonies. US constitution was written in 1787, The DOI was written in 1776. HOPE THIS HELPS! :P
