A declaration is a written statement submitted to a court in which the writer swears 'under penalty of perjury' that the contents are true. That is, the writer acknowledges that if he is lying, he may be prosecuted for perjury. Declarations are normally used in place of live testimony when the court is asked to rule on a motion. Some, but by no means all, states allow declarations in lieu of notarized statements.

The Supreme Court wasn't existence when the Declaration of Independence was written and it is not used in court cases. It won't exist until 1789. I think you are giving the Declaration of Independence too much emphasis as a document in shaping of the government. As far as slavery goes it depended on who was on the court and the case. An example of this would be the Dred Scott decision. In this decision a slave was classified as property and didn't have any rights.
