when it is necessary in the course of
human events for people to dissolve
bonds with their governments they must
give mankind decent Declaration of the
causes which impel them to the
separation all men are equal that's how
they are created endowed with certain
rights which are not to be debated life
liberty and happiness just to name a few
we hold these rights to be self-evident
and true now it is also man's right to
Institute government which derives its
power from the people's consent and when
a government's commitment to its
citizens fault it is the right of the
people to abolish or alter it and after
the people achieve their Liberation they
may take it on themselves to lay the
foundation of a new government which is
righteous and pure one that keeps its
citizens happy and secure now men will
not Revolt if their suffering is light
but Revolution shall always be the
people's right and when the long train
of abuse becomes too much to bear the
system must be reconstructed or repair
for the United Colonies now is that hour
too long his Great Britain usurped our
power the king's tyranny can no longer
be permitted and to prove this to the
world let facts be submitted he has
denied us the power to make laws as we
would even laws that are necessary for
the public good he's dissolved our
governments obstructed our courts all
without the people's consent or support
he has altered and abolished our
fundamental Charters blocked foreign
trade denied our right to barter imposed
taxes on us without our consensus had us
tried overseas for pretend ended
offenses transported foreign troops into
our nation bringing with them tyranny
death and desolation quartered them
among us even in times of Peace while
they burnt our towns and plundered our
seas the laws and actions of the king
disgust us he has been too deaf to hear
the voice of Justice we've attempted to
reason and tried to petition but the
King of Great Britain just refuses to
listen he's a prince whose character is
marked by acts of tyranny and is unfit
to be the ruler of a people who are free
the United Colonies will tolerate No
More from now on we are friends in peace
but enemies in war to the monarchy of
Britain we are no longer bound we
absolve ourselves of all allegiance to
the British crown it's the unanimous
decision of these men in attendance the
States of America declare their
independence
