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 separate and 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 causes which impel
them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all
men are created equal[4], 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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long
established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more
disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
¡¡
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations,
pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them
under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to
throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their
future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these
Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to
alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present
King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and
usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an
absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be
submitted to a candid world.

¡¡
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most
wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of
immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their
operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended,
he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
¡¡
He has refused to pass other Laws for the
accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people
would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a
right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
¡¡
He has called together legislative bodies at
places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of
their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into
compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses
repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the
rights of the people.
¡¡
He has refused for a long time, after such
dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative
Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at
large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time
exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions
within.
¡¡
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of
these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for
Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage
their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new
Appropriations of Lands.
¡¡
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice
by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
¡¡
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone
for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their
salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and
sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out
their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing
Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
¡¡
He has affected to render the Military
independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a
jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our
laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
¡¡
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among
us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from
punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the
Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the
world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of
Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for
pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in
a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary
government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once
an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule
into these states
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most
valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our
Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and
declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all
cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us
out of his Protection and waging War against us.
¡¡
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts,
burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
¡¡
He is at this time transporting large Armies of
foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and
tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy
scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy
the Head of a civilized nation.
¡¡
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken
Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to
become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall
themselves by their Hands.
¡¡
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us,
and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers,
the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an
undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

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. Nor have We been
wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them
from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an
unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.
¡¡
We have reminded them of the circumstances of our
emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native
justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of
our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would
inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too
have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We
must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our
Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies
in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united
States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the
Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do,
in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies,
solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of
Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are
Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all
political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is
and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent
States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract
Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things
which Independent States may of right do.
¡¡
And for the support of
this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine
Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes
and our sacred Honor.
