To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. " It purports, therefore, to be a declaration by the representa- tives of the (then) States, in the name and by the authority of the people of the Colonies. It would appear, therefore, that, outside OF any resolution of the General Congress, when this document came to be authenticated by the representatives of the different Colonies, it might as a matter of right, and not of permission, be signed by all the representatives of each Colony, in the name of and by the authority of the people of s...uch Colony. The people of New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire were entitled to have the votes of their Colonies authenticated by all of their representatives, and conversely, all of the representatives of each of the States named were entitled to act for their several States. New Hampshire had appointed three representatives, each with full power, and all were entitled to join in the Decla- ration in her behalf. It would seem not only to have been Thornton's right, but his duty, to join in that instrument, especially in view of the instructions from New Hampshire, under the reso- lution passed by her General Assembly on June 15, 1776, whereby her delegates to the Continental Congress were instructed to join with the other Colonies "in Declarinor the Thirteen United Colo- o nies a Free and Independent State, " which instructions Thornton himself, as a member of the New Hampshire Council, joined in passing, thereby solemnly pledging his faith and honor that he would support the measure " with his life and fortune.
