<em>"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."
</em>I am assuming that the above quote is the excerpt of this question. <em> </em>By giving the term "prudence" a personality, the Declaration of Independence calls for people to practice or exercise the virtue of prudence. <em> </em>Prudence is synonymous to good judgement. Thus, people should exercise good judgement before changing things in the government that will have a long-term result based on a short-term idea that may change in any given time.<em> </em>
