“we hold these truths to be self-evident, that al men are rested equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unal
ienable 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 lnstitute new Government, laying lts foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” The theme of this passage from the Declaration of Independence is best described as:
a half of the earth, usually as divided into northern and southern halves by the equator, or into western and eastern halves by an imaginary line passing through the poles.
