Why the first two paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence called?

Introduction
Bill of Rights
Preamble
Articles

The correct answer is: Preamble

The first two paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence are referred to as "Preamble" because they introduce the main ideas and principles of the document. They establish the reasons for declaring independence and outline the rights and beliefs that the American colonists held. The option "Introduction" is not as specific as "Preamble" and could refer to any introduction to the document. "Bill of Rights" and "Articles" are both incorrect because they refer to different documents in American government - the Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, and the Articles refer to the original framework of government before the Constitution was created.
