![]() He won't allow us to create our own laws, a fundamental need for things to work here. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. Looking at the King of England's record, it's clear England wants total control of our colonies, compromising our liberties. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. 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 enjoy civil liberties, our participation in maintaining their security lands squarely on us, those who live under them. When however through ANY actions this governing body we create, seeks to reduce our civil liberties, or reduce our ability to self govern, it's not only our right, it's our civic obligation within any real Republic to amend or throw off such governments, and provide a new governing body that supports civil liberties for all, now, and for future generations. ![]() Therefore, it's important that whatever form of governing process we agree on, we build it well. We shouldn't change government lightly however, for when we do, people suffer. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off 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 alter their former Systems of Government. 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. And when any design of government begins to remove their freedoms, it's the sole responsibility of the People to repair or replace it. That to protect these rights, governments are designed by and get their powers from its People. 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, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. We believe these rights a fundamental truth, and no government’s right to curtail, now, and forever more. We believe everyone is created equal, and should be afforded the right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness as they see it. 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 are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. When it becomes necessary to end one political process due to lack of representation, it's only fair to list the reasons why. When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
