"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

Why does Jefferson conclude with this statement?

Jefferson concludes the Deceleration of Independence with these lines to tie it in with religious importance and moral concerns.

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence was a  document important enough that it needed recognition from all the citizen it was supposed to be valid on.

Thus, Jefferson invokes the providence in the last sentence so as to grant the venture into a new form of governance a divine ordain.  

The sentence also invokes the values of giving away lives, fortunes and honor to make it a statement of sacrifice completely devoid of personal gains for the signatories so as to make it more pious.

author – information on the internet with a listed author is one indication of a credible site. the fact that the author is willing to stand behind the information presented (and in some cases, include his or her contact information) is a good indication that the information is reliable.

date – the date of any research information is important, including information found on the internet. by including a date, the website allows readers to make decisions about whether that information is recent enough for their purposes.

sources – credible websites, like books and scholarly articles, should cite the source of the information presented.

domain – some domains such as .com, .org, and .net can be purchased and used by any individual. however, the domain .edu is reserved for colleges and universities, while .gov denotes a government website. these two are usually credible sources for information (though occasionally a university will assign a .edu address to each of its students for personal use, in which case use caution when citing). be careful with the domain .org, because .org is usually used by non-profit organizations which may have an agenda of persuasion rather than education.

site design – this can be very subjective, but a well-designed site can be an indication of more reliable information. good design make information more easily accessible.

writing style – poor spelling and grammar are an indication that the site may not be credible. in an effort to make the information presented easy to understand, credible sites watch writing style closely.
