when it is necessary in the course of human events for people to dissolve bonds with their governments they must give mankind decent Declaration of the causes which impel them to the separation all men are equal that's how they are created endowed with certain rights which are not to be debated life liberty and happiness just to name a few we hold these rights to be self-evident and true now it is also man's right to Institute government which derives its power from the people's consent and when a government's commitment to its citizens fault it is the right of the people to abolish or alter it and after the people achieve their Liberation they may take it on themselves to lay the foundation of a new government which is righteous and pure one that keeps its citizens happy and secure now men will not Revolt if their suffering is light but Revolution shall always be the people's right and when the long train of abuse becomes too much to bear the system must be reconstructed or repair for the United Colonies now is that hour too long his Great Britain usurped our power the king's tyranny can no longer be permitted and to prove this to the world let facts be submitted he has denied us the power to make laws as we would even laws that are necessary for the public good he's dissolved our governments obstructed our courts all without the people's consent or support he has altered and abolished our fundamental Charters blocked foreign trade denied our right to barter imposed taxes on us without our consensus had us tried overseas for pretend ended offenses transported foreign troops into our nation bringing with them tyranny death and desolation quartered them among us even in times of Peace while they burnt our towns and plundered our seas the laws and actions of the king disgust us he has been too deaf to hear the voice of Justice we've attempted to reason and tried to petition but the King of Great Britain just refuses to listen he's a prince whose character is marked by acts of tyranny and is unfit to be the ruler of a people who are free the United Colonies will tolerate No More from now on we are friends in peace but enemies in war to the monarchy of Britain we are no longer bound we absolve ourselves of all allegiance to the British crown it's the unanimous decision of these men in attendance the States of America declare their independence
