'''== Text vs Commentary? =='''
Excuse me if I stepped on somebody's toes with my edit, but...I'd suggest that the text of the Declaration of Independence (as well as other historical docs) be left unsullied by editorial comment, with said commentary put in a separate section of the article. Emphasizing text that is not emphasized in the original changes the meaning, and putting "emphasis added" doesn't help matters much.
