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.

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 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.
