.ADIOIi ' SATURDAY, JULY VWW.; --ttt-t.1 nv . .' , 1 ' ' s 3 I DECL A RATION ' OF ' lNDErEND- ' IK COROXX8S, THTJBSOaT JVLT 4, 1776, Agreeably tof thevorder or the day, the Congress resolved itself into committee of tie whole, to take into their farther consideration the Declaration; and after some time ' the Pxeiiclent retramed" the chair, and Mr. Harrison repotted that the committee had agreed to a declara- " tion, which they desired him to re -- port , FTThe committee consisted of Jefferson, ' Franklin, Joluv Xdams, Sherman andlt It Iivingston. ' ' The Declaration being read; was 1 a vt:-ii Hrvri vi ' . try. u i dM.:t'!! i A. DECULBATIOX. By the representatives 3 of , , the United. States, in Cccgress Asv semblecL , y:UI-A i.-j i, H ' When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary far one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected , them . with another, and to assume, among '.the powers of the earth. , the , separate and equal station to- which .the laws of nature and of nature's., God entitle them, a deeent r respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation! ' j We hold these truths to be self' evident, thai all T men. .are . created equal; that (they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable ri&hts; that among f 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, 4 it is the right ox the people to alter or to abolish it,, and, to institute a 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. ' Pru- : denoe, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, 'should not be changed for light and fxan- , sient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown, thai mankind are more . disposed to suffer, whfle , evils are sufferable, than to right themselyes by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their'- right, it i their duty, to throw off such govl ernment, and to provide new guard for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies, and such is now the neoee sity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeatad injuries and usurpations, all hav ing, jn direct object, the establishment of an absolute tyranny over : these States. To prove this! let facts be . submitted to a candid He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary : for the public good. . , He has forbidden his . Governors to pass laws of immediate and press ing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for , the accommodation of large . districts of people, 'unless' .those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature; a right inestimable to them, and for midable to tyrants only. 5 -'; 1 I He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, ' uncom fortable, and distant from the depository pf their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them in! o compliance with his meas urea. . ' V hr ; He has dissolved .representative '. houses repeatedly, tor opposing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to cause Others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of an-r nihilation. . have 'returned - to the people at large for their exercise the State remaining, in the mean . time, exposed to aU the dangers of ; ' invasion from without, and eonvul sions within. '' ' . He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States ; for that purpose, obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; re ; farinj to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of ands. it. . He has obstructed the adminis- , tration of justice, . by refusing to : assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. tfi - He has made judges dependent on hi iB klona, for the tenure of

:THB-

their offices, od the amount and

payment of tt 'salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers - to harrass our people and eat out their substance. ??' He has kept among us Jn times of peace, standing armies, without t&e consent of oar legislature. nha vfitd to render - the military, independent of, and super ior to, the civil power. w He has combined, with others, to ' subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowV ' edged to our laws; giving his ae- - sent to their acta of pretended legttaticaV' ' -'V---; zx is3-.i',a : , For quartering large bodies of ' armed troops among us; "r: For protecting them, by a mock ' trial, frbrn punishment,' tor any murders which thev should commit 'on the inhabitants of thes States; 'Tor cutting off our trade with all partsof the world; - a.: : , ' For imposing taxes on us without fb,cWsent;;-.v V.,' For depriving nVm inany cases, f f the benefits.of trial by jury; , j , ; J? or transportmg us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences; 1 For aboHsiing the free system of tenglish laws in' a neighboring pro vmce, establishing. therein an arbi trary government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducinj the same absolute rule into these colonies; 1 i . ' :For 'taking1 away "our 'charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally;1 the powers of our government; 'J'' 1 ' For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselyes invested with power to legislate for us in all eases whatsoever. 1 He ' has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war against us. ;He has plundered bur seasV ravaged pur coasts, burnt' bur towns. , and destroyed the lives of bur pebpie. . . . , . He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete tne woik of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely . paralleled in the most barbarous, ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. f " . He has constrained, our fellowcitizens, taken captive oh the high is, to bear arms against their . country, o become the executioners or uieir menas ana Dretnren, or to fall themaelves by their hands. " : - ''I ' ' - - i.'. .. . . .... ,;S ; , , He has excited domestic insurrections 'amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabi : tents of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, Vhose known rule of warfare is an- undistinguished destruction, of all . ages,, sexes, and ; In everyt stage of . .these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms; our re peated petitions have been answer ed only by repeated injury. ' A prince, , whose : character, is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, iaunfit to be the ruler of a free people.. ,f. .f s ; J Nor have we been wanting in at tention to our British brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts made by their .legislature to extend an unwarrant 1 able jurisdiction over us. We have ; reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlei ment here. We have, appealed Ao j their native justice and magnanimi ty, and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to ' disavow . these usurpations, which : would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They, too, have been deaf t) , the voice of : justice -v and consanguinity. i'We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our se paration, and hold them, as we hold i the rest of : mankind, - enemies in war in peace, friends. r .. We, therefore, the representatives of the. UNITED , STATES OF AMERICA, in GENERAL CONGRESS assembled, appealing to the . Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our .intentions, do in the name and by the authority of , the good people of these colonies; solemnly publish and declare. That these United Colonies arc, and of . right ought to be, Fbee xxn IsbbrxirDENT States; that they are ab solved from all . allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connection between them and Great Britain, island ought to be, totally dissolved, and that as FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, j they have full power to levy war, con clude peace, contract alliances, d tabliah ' commerce, , and to do all other acta and things which INDEPENDENT STATES may of right do. ' And, for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on ther protection of DIVINE PRO VIDENCE, we mutually pledge each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
