Answer

Brief Explanations:

The Declaration of Independence listed the colonists' grievances against the British king, justifying their separation from Britain. It was not mainly to incite war, unite against the government (it was more about the king's actions), or immediately form a single - nation (though it was a step in that direction). Its primary purpose was to air grievances.
