Perspective From what perspective was the source created?
According to the author, the objective of the campaign was to excite
the troops, win over foreign allies, and announce the birth of a new
country to the rest of the world. One of the primary purposes of an
introduction to the Declaration of Independence is to clarify the
colonists' rights to revolution.

Context When was the source created and what was happening at that time?
Describe the condition or the circumstances of the situation?
The Filipino people declare their independence from the Spanish
Empire in this declaration. The Spanish colonial administration began
abusing its authority in 1531, as documented here. The Declaration
was not recognized by the United States or Spain as a result of the
Treaty of Paris, which ceded the Philippines to the United States. The
Philippines earned independence from the United States and Japan
on July 4, 1946, after more than 50 years as a colony.

Audience Who was the intended audience?
