DECLARATION OF AMERI
. CAN INDEPENDENCE.
In Congress July 4-, 1776.
By the House ofRepresentatives of the
United States of America in Con
gress assembled.
When, in the course of humane-
vents it becomes necessary for om
people to dissolve the political hand:
which have connected them with an
other and to assume among the pow
ers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the laws of
nature and of natures God entitle
them, a decent respedt for the opi
nions of mankind, requires, that they
should declare the causes which im
pel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self evi
dent—THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED
tqj/AL ; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain Unaliena
ble Rights; that among these are
Life, Liberty, snd the Pursuit of Hap
piness.
That to secure these rights, gov
ernments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the
consent of thy* governed ; that when
ever any form of government be
comes destructive of these ends, it
is the right of the people to alter or
abolish it, and to institute a new gov
ernment, laying its foundation on
such principles, and organizing its
powers in such form, as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their sule-
tv 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 dispos
ed to suffer, while evils are suffera
ble, than to right themselves by abo
lishing the forms to which they are
accustomed. But when a long train
of abuses and usurpation, pursuing
invariably the same object, evinces a
to pass others, to encourage their
migration hither, and raising the con
ditions of new appropriations of
lands:
He has obstructed the administra
tion of justice, by refusing assent to
laws, for establishing judiciary pow
ers ;
He has made judges dependant on
his will alone, for the tenure of their
officers, and the amout and payment
of their saleries :
He h as created a multitude of new
officers, and sent hither swarms of
officers, to harrass our people and
eat out their subsistence :
He has kept among us, in times of
peace, standing armies, without the
consent of our legislatures :
He has affected to render thfe mi
litary independent of, and superior
lo the civil power :
He has combined with others to
subject us to a jurisdiction, foreign to
our constitution, and unacknowledg
ed by our laws ; giving his assent to
their acts of pretended legislation :
For quartering large bodies of ar
med troops among us :
For protecting them, by a mock
trial, from punishment for any mur
der 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
uur consent;
For depriving us, in many cases oi
the benefits of trial bv jury :
For transporting us beyond seas to
be tried lor pretended offences :
For abolishing the free system of
English law in a neighbouring pro
vince, establishing there an arbitrary
government, and enlarging its boun
daries so as to render it at once an
•xample and fit instrument, for in
troducing the same absolute rule in
to these colonies:
For taking away our charters,
bolishingour most valuable laws, and
titering fundamentally the forms oi
our governments ;
For suspending our own legisla
tures, and declaring themselves in
vested with power to legislate for us
in all cases whatsoever :
He has abdicated government
more, by declaring us out of his pro
tectiou and waging war against
us :
He has plundered our seas ravag
ed our coasts, burnt our towns,
and destroyed the lives of our peo-
intentions, Do, in the name and by
the authority of the good people of
these colonies solemnly publish and
declare, tltat the United Colonies
are, and of right might to be free and
independent states ; that they arc-
absolved from all allegiance to tht
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, con
clude peace, contract alliances, esta
blish 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.
