Declaration of Independence

​“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed [given] by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness - That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted [established] among Men, deriving [getting] from 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 or to abolish it and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such Principles, and organizing its powers in such forms, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness…It is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
