sns 81, destructive of these ends. it Is the

,disgly all experience hath shown,
!, mankind are more disposed to suf-

which they are accustomed. But

bns, all having in direct object the es-
blishment of an absolute tyranny over

He has called together legis'a-

measures.
he has dissolved representative houses
leatedly, for opposing with manly
mness, his inva,ions on the rights OF

He has refused for a long time after
