AMERICA IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLEDI f I . - I ‘1 . 1 y _
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the
entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare
the"Lauses which impel them to the separation. ‘
We hold these truths to be sell—evident, that all men are created equal; that they are en-
«lowed 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,
Lderivmg their just powers from the consent of the governed, that, whenever any form of gov,
nment becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish' 1t,
and to institute a 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.
rudence, indeed will dictate, that governments long established should not be changed {011
light and, transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more
dispOsedL'to suffer, while evilsLare suiierable, than to right themselves, by abolishing the forms
“to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations. pursuing in-
‘ ILL‘vartably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their
right,' it is their duty, to throw oil such government, and to provide new guards for their fu~
tore security. Such has been .the patient sufferance of these colonies, and such 15 now the
necessity w ich constrains them to alter their fortner systems of government. The history
of the preseNt king of GL1%a'i liritLain 1s a history of repeated 1njuries and usurpations, all having
L in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To preve this,
let facts be submitted to a cs‘ndid world.
He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, Lun-
' less suspended 1n their operation till his assent should be obtained; and. when So suspended. L
be has utterly neglected to attend to them.
. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodations of. large districts of people.

L inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only.
‘ , He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant
' ‘3; from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into com-
__pliance with his measures.3;fl§,y¢1 I}: 1; 1 .1. 1 I like 7p
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing, with manly firmness. his

, , He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutiOns, to cause others to be elected;
whereby the legislative powers, incapable/“oi annihilation, have returned to the pepple at
L large, for the exercise: the state remaining, in the melotimtrexposed to all the dangers oi
invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose. obstruct-
the' laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass oihers to encourage their migration

For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:
For abolishing the free system of English laws' 1n a neighboring province, establishing
therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once, an' ‘
, example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies:
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering, funda-
mentally, the powers of our governments: . .;
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to
legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection, and waging
1 war against us.
lie has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts. burnt out towns, pnd destroyed the lives
of our people.
He is, at this time,transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the
the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun. with circumstances of cruelty and
perfidy. scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a
civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow citizens, taken captive on the high seas, to bear" arms
against their country. to become the executioners of their friends and brethren,
themselves by their hands. L a
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored Lto bring on the
inhabitants or our {rootlets the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare 1s” anL
undistinLguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress, in the most humble
terms; our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose
‘ character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is 11111111 to be the ruler of a ‘
‘1
free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them,
from time to time. of attempts, by their legislature. to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction
over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement
here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnsnimity, and we have conjured .
them. by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inev-
itably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They. too, have been deal to the voice
of justice, and of consanguinity. We must. therefore. acquiesce in the necessity, which de-
nounces our separation, and hold them. as we hold the restfiof mankind, enemies in war, in
peace friends. . .: I .
We. therefore. the representativesof the United States of America, in General Congress . IL
assembled appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world, for the rectitude of our intentions;
do. 111 the name and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish
and declare that these United Colonies are. and of right ought to be. free and independent
states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political
connection between them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved;
and that, as free and independent states. they have full pov‘aener to levy war, conclude peace,
contract alliances, establish commerce. and to do all other acts and things. which independent
states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration. with a firm reliance on the ‘
protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes. and
our sacred honor. m l”!
