The excerpt below is from the Declaration of Independence. 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 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.
