DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the caused. which impel them to the separation, We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain un- alienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness, That to secure these rights, Governments are in- stituted 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 founda- tion on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness, ‘These are the times that try men’s souls, The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country .»- Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered.’’ (from ‘‘The Crisis’’ by Thomas Paine)
