Answer
When
in
the
course
of
human
events,
it
becomes
necessary
for
one
people
to
dissolve
the
political
bands
that
have
connected
them
with
another,
and
to
assume
among
the
powers
of
the
earth,
the
seperate
and
equal
station
to
which
the
Laws
of
Nature
and
of
Nature's
God
entitle
Answer
them,
a
decent
respect
to
the
opinions
of
mankind
requires
that
they
should
declare
the
causes
that
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
Answer
are
Life,
Liberty,
and
the
persuit
of
Happiness.
-That
to
secure
these
rights,
Governments
are
instituted
among
Men,
deriving
their
just
powers
from
the
consent
of
the
governed,
-That
when
any
Form
of
Government
becomes
destructive
to
these
ends,
it
is
the
Right
of
the
People
to
alter
or
Answer
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
affect
their
Safety
and
Happiness.
Prudence,
indeed,
will
dictate
that
Governments
long
established
shall
not
be
changed
for
light
and
Answer
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.
But
when
a
long
train
of
abuses
and
usurpations,
pursuing
invariably
the
same
Object
evinces
a
design
Answer
to
reduce
them
under
absolute
Despotism,
it
is
their
right,
it
is
their
duty,
to
throw
off
of
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
Answer
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.
