\begin{document}
\maketitle
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

This is the declaration of independence:\\

#Multicol
Columns
To use multiple columns in your document, use the "multicol" package. Just add it to your opening declaration like so:
\usepackage{palatino, url, multicol}
Then, to use multiple columns, invoke it like this:
\begin{multicols}{2}{
Department of English\\
P.O. Box 117310\\
University of Florida\\
Gainesville, FL, 32611-7310\\
(352) 392-6650
111 My Home address\\
Gainesville, FL 32611\\
(352) 555-1111 (H)\\
(352) 555-2222 (M)
}
\end{multicols}
That will make a two-column area in your document.
You can control the space between the columns with the \columnsep command. Invoke it before you invoke columns like this: \setlength{\columnsep{2in}}
