                    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.
