the core issue you have here is that the word "Sovereign" was omitted from the Declaration.

It would be far more accurate to say that the core issue I have is that a clear statement of individual Sovereignty was omitted from the Constitution.

The Declaration is irrelevant, as it is not law, and plays no part in our system of government, except as occasional inspiration, and mostly just as a purposeful confusion.

The DoI is the carrot that can be pointed to when the stick (Constitution) is shoved up your ass.

you are getting lost in the words

I disagree. We are talking about points of law. The words, their meanings (by which I mean their vernacular, i.e., their common misunderstanding), definition (according to the law), inflection, placement, sentence structure, are all that matters, because that is how Law Magic works.
