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
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 it's foundation on such Principles and organizing it's Powers in such form as to Them shall seem most likely to Effect their safety and happiness
Prudence, indeed Will dictate that governments Long established should Not be changed for light And transient causes And accordingly All experience hath shown
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 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
For their future security For their future security For their future security...
