In Congress, July 4, 1776

We hold these Truths...

To be self-evident...

That all People 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 People...

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 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.
