What is Declaration of independence?
{{about|declarations of independence in general|the U.S. Declaration|United States Declaration of Independence}} A '''declaration of independence''' is a claim of [[independence]] of an aspiring [[state]] or states. States like these are usually formed from part or all of the territory of another nation or failed nation, or are breakaway territories from within the parent state. Declarations of independence are typically made without the consent of the parent state, and hence are sometimes called '''unilateral declarations of independence''' (UDI), particularly by those who question the validity of the declarations.
