DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE,
j ULT =. 1870

TAX UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OP THE THIRTEEN
United sTNItS ~ ANERIcA, IN CONGRESS
AsSENELED.
When, in the course Of human events,
IL Incomes necessary for one people to dis
solve the political bands which have con.
nrctcd them with one another, and to as
Aume among the powers Of the earth the
separate and equal station to which the
laws of nature and of natures God en-.
title them, decent respect to the opinions
nf mankind requires that they should de.
clare the causes which impel them to the
separation.
We hold these truths to be sell-evidcnt
that all men are created equal that
they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienahle rights; that among
these arc life, liberty and the pursuit Of
happiness that, to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed; that, whenever any
form of government becomes destructive
Of these ends, it is he'right Of the people
to alter or to abolish it, and to institute
new cove, nment, 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 govern.
ments long established should not be
changed for light and transient causes |;
;and, accordingly, all experience has shown
that mankind are more disposed to suffer,
while evils are sufIerable. than to right
themselves by abolishing the forms to
which they are accustomed. But when
long train of abuses and uSurpatiOns, pur'
suing invariably the same object, evinces
n design to reduce them under absolute
tlcspotism, it is their right, It's their duty,
to throw off such government, and to
provide new guards for their future Secu-
Tity. Such has been the patient suffer.
ancc 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 is history Of repeated injuries
and usurpations, all having in direct Oh.
.ject the establishment Of an absolute tyr.
amy over these States. 10 prove this,
let facts be submitted to candid world {:
lie has refused bis assent to laws the
most wholesome and necessary for the
public good.
lie has forbidden his governors to pass
laws of immediate and pressing import
ance, unless suspended in their operation
till his assent should be obtained and,
when so suspended, he has utterly me-
elected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for
the accommodation Of large districts Of
people. unless those people would relin-
quish the right Of representation in the
legislature-a right inestimable to them,
and formidable tO tyrants only.
