								                    The Declaration of Independence
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								                   (Adopted in Congress 4 July 1776)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								equal, that they are endowed 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
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								among men, deriving their just powers form the consent of the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								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 form, as to 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 are more disposed to suffer, while evils are
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								they are accustomed.  But when a long train of abuses and usurpations,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies;
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Britain is a history of repeated injuries 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.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								for the public good.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								to them.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								formidable to tyrants only.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								his measures.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise;
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								invasion from without, and convulsions within.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners;
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								consent of our legislature.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								civil power.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								their acts of pretended legislation:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								protection and waging war against us.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								destroyed the lives of our people.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								nation.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								of all ages, sexes and conditions.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								people.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								correspondence. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
