When, in the course of human events it he comes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political band: whici hace connected them with
another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the laws cf nature and uature’s God entilfe them, a :
decent respect to the opinions of monkund requires that they should declare . 4
the causes which impel ihem to the separaiton. .
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ali mei are created equal; - t.
that they are endowed by their Creator wits certair cnalicaable rights: aa
that among these are life, liberty, and Ure pursuit of happiness. That, to *.
secure these rights, governments are instituied 2mong men, deriving their A
just powers from tke consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of ap
government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people * BS
te alier or Co ebolizh tt, and fo institute a new government, laying its . 4 f
fonudsticn on such principles, and organizing its powers ia such form, as
to them shall espe. troct Ekely fo ified heh: safety and happlness. Fru. tk

be changed for light anc (rausieni causes: and «ccurdingly, al] experience |
hath shown, thal mankind ate more dispescd tn suffer, while evils are 4
