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.
