Prior to that sentence in the Declaration of Independence, statements were made about the nature of government, where it derives its authority from, its relationship with mankind and how mankind usually and should respond to its actions. They made the claim that the current government of England had overstepped it's bounds.
"To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world" essentially is saying to prove our point, we're going to put down some facts on paper about what the King of England has done and let the world view this and judge for themselves whether or not we're right or wrong.
They then list all of their grievances with King George.

While it's immediate target was George III and the British Parliament, the declaration had a secondary purpose. Jefferson stated that in writing the Declaration he "wished to place the facts before the world in terms so clear and direct as to command their assent."

Yep- the the wild world of Frasier.
The Declaration of Independence was risky because it basically called out the greatest country in the world at the time on their tyranny. The Constitution outlined the freedom that every American citizen now enjoys.
I wouldn't say it was a turning point. The Battle of Concord in April of 1775 was more a turning point, then there was the battle of Bunker Hill, and the siege of Boston. The Declaration wasn't signed until July 4, 1776 so a great deal had gone on before it. I think of it more as statement of reasons, purpose and facts to tell the world why they wanted to be free of the English crown.
