excerpt from the Declaration of Independence
by Thomas Jefferson
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain fundamental rights, that among these are life,
iberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their pust powers from the consent of
the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it
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 unfit to be the ruler of a free people. We have
wamed them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. They have ben deal to the voice of
justice and of brotherhood.
Edmentum. All rights reserved.
