Question

preamble/ideology
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. 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. 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. 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 prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
