An Excerpt from the 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 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.
