WHEN in the course of human events it becomes
 " necessary for people dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the arate and equal station to which the laws of nature and or nature God entite them, decent respect the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them the Separa- tion.
 We hold these truths be self evident That all men are created equal; that they endowed by their Creator with certain unalenable rights; that among these life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap pness That to secure these rights, governments 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 to abolish 1t, and to institute a government, laying it's foundation such principles and or- ganizing it's powers in such form, 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 shown that mankind disposed to suffer while evils sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they accus- toned But when long train of abuses and patons, pursuing invariably the object evinces design to reduce them under absolute despotsn, 1t is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government, and to provide guards for their future security Such has been the patient suf ferance of these colonies; and such is the sity which consrans them to alter their former sys tems of government The history of the present King of Great Britain is history of repeated in juries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny these states.
