Happy 4th of July
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.
