Thelonius

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator withcertain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure theserights, 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 abolishit, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in suchform, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate thatgovernments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experiencehath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves byabolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuinginvariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is theirduty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
