The Declaration of Independence

The Declaration of Independence

In Congress, July 4, 1776

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 just powers from 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.

Have a Healthy, Safe and Happy Fourth of July!
