“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain un

alienable 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 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… Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient (temporary) causes… But when a long train of abuses… reduce them under absolute Despotism (abuse of power), it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
