• July 4th, 1776 Declaration of Independence
• We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all
  men are created equal, that they are endowed by
  their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
  that among these are Life, Liberty and the
  pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these
  rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
  deriving their just powers from the consent of
  the governed, --That whenever any Form of
  Government becomes destructive of these ends, it
  is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish
  it, and to institute new Government, laying its
  foundation on such principles and organizing its
  powers in such form, as to them shall seem most
  likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
  The history of the present King of Great Britain
  George III is a history of repeated injuries
  and usurpations, all having in direct object the
  establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these
  States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to
  a candid world.

• July 4th, 1776 Declaration of Independence
• We, therefore, the Representatives of the united
  States of America, in General Congress,
  Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the
  world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in
  the Name, and by the Authority of the good People
  of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare,
  That these United Colonies are, and of Right
  ought to be Free and Independent States that
  they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the
  British Crown, and that all political connection
  between them and the State of Great Britain, is
  and ought to be totally dissolved and that as
  Free and Independent States, they have full Power
  to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances,
  establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and
  Things which Independent States may of right do.
  And for the support of this Declaration, with a
  firm reliance on the protection of divine
  Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our
  Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

• July 4th, 1776 Declaration of Independence
• The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen

• The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united
  States of America,
• 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

  men are created equal, that they are endowed by
  their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
  that among these are Life, Liberty and the
  pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these
  rights, Governments are instituted among Men,

  is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish
  it, and to institute new Government, laying its
  foundation on such principles and organizing its
  powers in such form, as to them shall seem most
  likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
  Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments
  long established should not be changed for light
  and transient causes and accordingly all
  experience hath shewn, that mankind are more
  disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,
  than to right themselves by abolishing the forms
  to which they are accustomed. But when a long
  train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing
  invariably the same Object evinces a design to
  reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their
  right, it is their duty, to throw off such
  Government, and to provide new Guards for their
  future security. Such has been the patient
  sufferance of these Colonies and such is now the
  necessity which constrains them to alter their
  former Systems of Government. The history of the
  present King of Great Britain George III is a
  history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all
  having in direct object the establishment of an
  absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove
  this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
• He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most
  wholesome and necessary for the public good.
• He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of
  immediate and pressing importance, unless
  suspended in their operation till his Assent
  should be obtained and when so suspended, he has
  utterly neglected to attend to them.
• He has refused to pass other Laws for the
  accommodation of large districts of people,
  unless those people would relinquish the right of
  Representation in the Legislature, a right
  inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants
  only.
• He has called together legislative bodies at
  places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from
  the depository of their public Records, for the
  sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance
  with his measures.
• He has dissolved Representative Houses
  repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his
  invasions on the rights of the people.
