Declaration of Independence:
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 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.
