How many words are there in the Declaration of Independence?
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
If you count the header and do not count the states and signatures of the signers and writers there are 1137 words. If you do count the men that signed the Declaration of Independence and their states there are 1478 words. Sources: http://www.ushistory.org/Declaration/document/index.
