That to secure these rights, governments are instituted +among men, deriving their just powers form the consent of the +governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to +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 shown 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 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 meantime exposed to all the dangers of +invasion from without, and convulsions within. + +He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that +purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; +refusing to pass others to encourage their migration 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 legislature. + +He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to +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 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 benefits of trial by jury: + +For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses: + +For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring +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 in these colonies: + +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, burned our towns, and +destroyed the lives of our people. + +He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to +complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun +with circumstances of cruelty and 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 endeavored +to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian +savages, whose known rule of warfare, is 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 attention 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. 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 the +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. + +New Hampshire: Josiah Bartlett, William Whipple, Matthew Thornton + +Massachusetts: John Hancock, Samual Adams, John Adams, Robert Treat +Paine, Elbridge Gerry + +Rhode Island: Stephen Hopkins, William Ellery + +Connecticut: Roger Sherman, Samuel Huntington, William Williams, +Oliver Wolcott + +New York: William Floyd, Philip Livingston, Francis Lewis, Lewis +Morris + +New Jersey: Richard Stockton, John Witherspoon, Francis Hopkinson, +John Hart, Abraham Clark + +Pennsylvania: Robert Morris, Benjamin Rush, Benjamin Franklin, John +Morton, George Clymer, James Smith, George Taylor, James Wilson, +George Ross + +Delaware: Caesar Rodney, George Read, Thomas McKean + +Maryland: Samuel Chase, William Paca, Thomas Stone, Charles Carroll of +Carrollton + +Virginia: George Wythe, Richard Henry Lee, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin +Harrison, Thomas Nelson, Jr., Francis Lightfoot Lee, Carter Braxton + +North Carolina: William Hooper, Joseph Hewes, John Penn + +South Carolina: Edward Rutledge, Thomas Heyward, Jr., Thomas Lynch, +Jr., Arthur Middleton + +Georgia: Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, George Walton +" |
