I jumped at the chance to have this truly remarkable document at my fingertips. Only to download and find that it is only for a select few of ipods this piece of political art should be compatible with the ipod nanos. I hope you consider my problem, and I thank you for your time.

Always wanted to carry the Declaration in my pocket. Now I can! I wish that the image of the Declaration could zoom to more detail.

The Declaration has a lot more history than some people realize; - The first, largest, and most famous signature is that of John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress. His signature is such that King George 3 could read the name without the aid of glasses. - The youngest signer was Edward Rutledge of South Carolina(age 26). Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania(age 70) was the oldest. - Two future presidents signed: John Adams (second President) and Thomas Jefferson (third President). - On June 11, 1776, Congress appointed a "Committee of Five", consisting of John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, Robert R. Livingston of New York, and Roger Sherman of Connecticut, to draft a declaration. - Thomas Jefferson was appointed by the other four members of the committee to write the first draft, which he completed in 17 days. - The committee presented this copy to the Congress on June 28, 1776. The title of the document was "A Declaration by the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress assembled." - July 4, 1776, is actually the day the wording of the Declaration was approved by Congress. - Due to the Revolutionary war the document was signed individually and in secrecy. - Thomas Jefferson and John Adams published a book titled the “Journals of Congress” claiming the document was signed on that same day. - The “Journals of Congress” was published over a year later recounting the events of July 4, 1776 - In 1796, signer Thomas McKean disputed the claim that the Declaration had been signed on July 4, pointing out that some signers were not present that day, including several who were not even elected to Congress until after July 4. - McKean's version of the story gained support when the Secret Journals of Congress were published in 1821 - The actual signing of the Declaration took place after the New York delegation had been given permission to support independence, which allowed the Declaration to be proclaimed as the unanimous decision of the thirteen states. - Retitled on July 19, 1776 as "The unanimous declaration of the thirteen United States of America" - Most of the delegates who signed did so on August 2, 1776, although some eventual signers were not present and added their names later.
You know how fifth grade teachers normaly teach United States history? Well I showed this app to my fifth grade teacher from last year, and she was so "proud" of me that she gave me a box full of Jolly Ranchers!

I know everyone loves a Free App. But if any app deserved to be free, it's this one. Thank you for not charging Americans the right to see their rights!
