Dragon's Head in Cancer = Cancer rules Birth
The "United States of America" is a young country based on a good idea.
Dragon's Tail in Capricorn = The Old Established Order in Europe
No one is just going to throw off the old guard like that. Major powers get a foothold in this new country to make sure it doesn't break too far away. The old establishment operates behind the scenes pulling the strings.
The point being is the Old Establishment made sure to put policies in place, that suggest you do not have access to the "Declaration of Independence"

In summary, ignore the preface of the Declaration of Independence and only focus on the grievances towards King George, III. The claim being the document was only good for America in the 1770's and not good for America in the 20th century and onward.

BASIC STRUCTURE
Length: 1,400 words
400 words spell out the essence of the principles and beliefs in which America was founded.
These 400 words are split evenly between the opening and closing statements
The middle of the document is the remaining 1,000 words that explain 25 abuses of King George, III over a 10 year period.
SEVEN COMPONENTS
Opening (Components 1 through 4)
Component #1 - the necessity for one people to dissolve the political bands which connect them with another
The separation is entitled through the “Laws of Nature” and of “Nature’s God”
Explaining the reasons for the separation
Component #2 - The Self Evident Truths
All men are created Equal
Endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights
Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness
“Happiness” does not refer to “Hedonism” (satisfying desires).
“Happiness” means individuals have the freedom to use their time, talents, and resources to pursue the directions in life that would bring them the most satisfaction and benefit their family, friends, fellow man, and future generations the most.
Component #3 - The purpose of Government
Governments derive their powers from the Governed. Governments are instituted to protect the rights of the Governed.
Component #4 - Abolishing Government
When Government becomes destructive of these ends, the people have a right to alter it (peacefully) or abolish it (forcefully) and institute new Government that will lay its foundation on such principles (the self evident truths) and organize its powers in such form to effect their safety and happiness.
