I'm Unned St,I,tS Of iptsrtcd.
When in tho course OF human
events it becomes necessary for ono
people to disolvc tho political baud
which have connected them with a.
mother, aud to assume among tho
powors Of the earth, the separate
and equal station to which the Laws
Of nature and OF natures God onti-
ties them, q decent respect for the
opinions OF mankind requires that
they declare tho Causes which impel
them to tho separation.
We hold these truths to be solf-
evident that all mon aro croated
equal that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unaliona-
bic rights that among those arc
life, liberty, and pursuit Of happi-
ness. That to socure these rights,
governments arc instituted among
men, deriving their just powers
from tho consent Of tho governed !;
that, whonovor any form Of goyorn-
mont becomes destructive Of these
ends, it is tho right of tho people to
alter or abolish it, aud to institute .
! sosernmont, laying its foundation
on such prinoipiea, and organizing
its powers in such form, ~ to
them shall soom most li!:oly to ctfcct
their safety AMI happiness. Pro-
duco, indeed, will dictate ths. GOV
ernment long established, should
not DO changed for light AMI tgGaa.
ciont causes and, accordingly, all
experience hath Bhown that mankind
are moro disposed to suffer, while
evils arc moro disposed TO GutTara-
bio, than to right themselves by D.
polishing tho forms to which thoy
are accustomed. But when long
train ofabuses and usurpations,pursu-
ing invariably the same object, cyincos
design to reduce thom under abso
Lutte despotism, it is their duty, to
throw of such government, aud to
provide now guards for their future
security. Such has been the pationt
suTarance Of tho colonies, aud such
is now tho necessity which oonstrails
thom to alter their former system OF
government. The history of the
present King of Great Britain, 10 G

urpations, all having, in direct OBJ
iect, the establishment Of on obsor
