It is a legal document in that it names the right of the victim, and brings to light the indictment of the guilty.

Make no mistake this was not only a statement of rights, as well as , grievances, this constituted the legal basis for the Colonists to rebel against an oppressive government

It made no rules that anyone had to obey.

As far as a “legal basis” for rebellion, it’s too bad the war was already on for a good solid year before this. It’s nice it was written out, but had the rebellion failed, it would’ve meant nothing.
