Maybe give some free advice about: School?
It seems to me that what the question is asking is this:
"When the original founders of the nation gathered to define the new government, what were they hoping to achieve and how did they design the government in order to do that?"
I'm going to assume that you're talking about the United States, because you mention the Declaration of Independence (perhaps other countries have similarly titled documents - if so, I'm simply not aware of it). Therefore, you will want to discuss things like:
In what ways was their new government different from what was traditional at the time, that is, a monarchy with a ruling house and a parliament?
What were their primary goals that they hoped to achieve with this new system of government? How did they feel it could be superior to the old ways?
What were some of the methods they built into the system to achieve these goals?
Were there some ways in which the new system was INFERIOR to the old?
What examples already existed for them to follow, and what old ideas did they adopt and re-work for their purposes?
You don't necessarily need to answer all the above questions in your essay, and you may consider others that I haven't thought of, but hopefully I've given you a place to start your thinking.
