The most important function of the Declaration of Independence is to transform the ideas of natural human rights and social contract produced during the European Enlightenment into the principles of realistic politics, which marks the beginning of a new political ecological environment in American and human history.

For the first time, the people's rights were declared sacred and inviolable in the name of the country. Marx called it "the first declaration of human rights" because it is the only political program to expound the natural human rights.

It directly influenced the French Revolution in 1789 and promoted the anti-feudal struggle throughout Europe. The democracy and ideas embodied in the Declaration also inspired and inspired China bourgeois thinkers, laid the ideological foundation for the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911 and promoted the development of the national liberation movement in China.
