What did the Declaration of Independence do?

Created the first US government
Declared our independence from Great Britain
Established the federal court system
Outlined the Bill of Rights

The correct answer is: Declared our independence from Great Britain

The Declaration of Independence is a powerful document that marked the beginning of the United States as a sovereign nation. B is the correct option because the main purpose of the Declaration of Independence was to declare that the 13 American colonies were breaking away from British rule and becoming independent states. Option A is incorrect because the Declaration of Independence did not create the first US government. The US Constitution, adopted in 1787, established the government. Option C is incorrect because the federal court system was not established until the Judiciary Act of 1789. Option D is incorrect because the Declaration of Independence did not outline the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights was not added to the US Constitution until 1791.
