Lets see, the Declaration of Independence was published in the Statutes at Large for the 43rd Congress of the United States. See the Index.

The United States Statutes at Large, commonly referred to as the Statutes at Large, is the official source for the laws and resolutions passed by Congress.

Also, if you search the United States Code from the House or Representatives page, you also get a copy of the Declaration in the code.

Because the search engine for US Code on the thomas and gpoaccess sites only search US Code for recent Congresses, the declaration doesn't come up in their search engines.

Why don't you all stop fighting about this and concentrate on the real issue of globalization and illegal immigration affecting our sovereignty?

No, what you get is a link to a copy of the Declaration that they have on their server. The actual Decalration is not in the actual Code.

Start with Title 1, Section 1 and go all the way to Title 50, Subchapter 7 and find the Declaration. You won't, because it is not in the Code.
