We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal, that we are endowed by our 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 We The People, deriving their just powers from the consent of us that they govern, --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 us that their action shall seem most likely to effect; our Safety and Happiness.
