IT BELONGS TO THE WHOLE WORLD NOW
Declaration of Independence
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

WHEN, in the course of human events it becomes
 necessary for people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the sep arate and equal station which the laws of and of natures God entite them, decent respect the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separa- ton.
 We hold these truths to be self-evident That all men are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unaenable rights that among these life liberty, and the pursuit of hap piness 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 it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation such principles and or ganizng its powers in such form, to them shall most likely 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 more disposed to suffer while evils sufferable, than to right themselves by abOishng the forms to which they are accus- toned But when long train of abuses and usur- pations pursuing invariably the object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, 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- feranee of these colonies; and such is the sty which constrans them alter their former sys tems of government The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated n- jures 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.
