For transporting us beyond Seas, to be tried for pretended
offences;
   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 into 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 paralled 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 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 our 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. 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
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.

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 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, 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 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 shall 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 shall
be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to
attend to
them.
He has neglected to pass other Laws for the accomadation 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
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 constitutions, 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 benefits of Trial by
Jury;
