Declaration of Independence

by Thomas Jefferson (adapted excerpt)

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 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 migrations 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.””
