I know its not legally binding.

I just wonder how the CONCEPT was reconciled with the realities of running a nation, even putting aside slavery and patriarchy.

Did they not really mean it?

Of course not. The Declaration of Independence aside from the preamble is basically a set of articles of impeachment against the King. And they are some extremely flimsy ones.....somehow they charge him with both supporting and opposing slavery, in addition to doing things perfectly within a king's right to do, like vetoing bills and summoning legislatures to meet at places of his choosing.
